The Italian Society on General Relativity and Gravitation (SIGRAV), founded in 1990, [1] is a non-profit association whose purpose is to bring together the members of Italian scientific community who are interested in various aspects of general relativity and in gravitation physics.

Contents

SIGRAV brings together experts and researchers involved in classical and quantum gravity, astrophysics, relativistic cosmology and experimental gravity, and it has been organizing biennial national congresses. Its other activities include managing the SIGRAV School and the Virgo School. At the time of the national congress it awards the SIGRAV prizes and the Amaldi medal.

The official address of SIGRAV is located at viale F. Crispi, in L'Aquila, at the premises of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI).

List of the presidents

The following list includes both the honorary as well as the elected ones, ordered according to appointment year.

Honorary presidents

Four year term presidents

Amaldi medals

Every 2 years, SIGRAV awards the prestigious European Prize for Gravitational Physics “Edoardo Amaldi” [2] The Prize, consisting in a gold medal valued about 10K€ (whenever the Prize is not shared), is reserved to scientists who carry out their activity in Europe and have given seminal contributions to the Physics of Gravitation. The Prize will be awarded every two years, following the indications of the SIGRAV Board, during the SIGRAV National Conferences.

SIGRAV Prizes

Two prestigious “SIGRAV Prizes” [3] for “Classical and Quantum Gravity” and “Astrophysics, Cosmology and Experimental Gravity” are awarded upon nomination by SIGRAV every two years, to young Italian scientists below the age of 40 at the time of the nomination, who have particularly distinguished themselves in the fields of general relativity and gravitational physics, and who are among the most promising researchers in the fields of gravitation and cosmology.
