About IAGRG Meetings
IAGRG Meetings are primarily national-level meetings, typically organized once every two years. They provide a forum for the Indian gravitation and cosmology community to present recent work, exchange ideas, and promote interaction among researchers. Their format usually includes plenary talks, contributed paper sessions, the Vaidya–Raychaudhuri Endowment Award Lecture, and the General Body Meeting of the IAGRG, which is generally held toward the close of the meeting. The meetings are typically held over four days and host around a large number of participants from institutions across the country.
