Texas 2012
26th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics
Sao Paulo, December 15 - 20, 2012

The 26th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will be held in São Paulo city, Brazil, from December 15-20, 2012, and hosted by National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The Symposium will be held at Hotel Bourbon Convention Ibirapuera.

As in its previous editions, Texas 2012 will cover recent developments in Cosmology, Gravitation, Astroparticle Physics and related areas of Relativistic Astrophysics with emphasis on the most recent developments in the field.

Due to the proximity to Christmas, we advanced the symposium activities by one day. So, they start on Sunday (December 16) and end on Thursday (December 20) in the middle of the afternoon, allowing people to travel in that same evening (on December 20).

There will be a cocktail reception on Saturday, December 15th. Therefore, if you arrive in Sao Paulo on December 15 during the day and leave on December 20 at night you won't be missing anything.


We look forward to seeing you in São Paulo in December!
