***** First announcement *****

"Gamma-Ray Bursts and Related Astrophysics in Multi-Messenger Era"

Date: May 13 - May 17, 2019
Location: Nanjing University, Nanjing, China
URL: http://grb.nju.edu.cn/grb2019

* Scope

The study of GRBs has been an active field in astrophysics over
the years, which has undergone a significant boost in interest with
the joint detection of GW170817/GRB 170817A. This meeting will bring
together observers and theorists working in this exciting field. The
conference will cover all observational and theoretical topics on GRBs,
but also include related subjects with a focus on multi-messenger aspects.

Topics of the conference will include:
- GRB prompt emission
- GRB afterglow theory and observations
- GRB central engines
- GRB polarization
- GRB progenitors and host galaxies
- GW & EM counterparts observations
- GW & EM counterparts theory
- GRB-cosmological and GRB-fundamental physics connections
- Fast Radio Bursts
- Cosmic rays and neutrinos
- Current and Future survey missions
