The discussion will be very informal with a small number of talks, and it will revolve around:<\/p>\n<p>* current experimental constraints on Einstein&#8217;s theory,<br \/>\n* theoretical and numerical investigations of proposed extensions of general relativity, and<br \/>\n* the experimental opportunities that may open up in the near future with gravitational-wave observations.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop was partially made possible thanks to the support of the International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES) Grant <em>Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics<\/em>, awarded by the European Union under the FP7 program.
