The 14th International Conference on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology (ICGAC14)
- 17 – 21 August 2020
- National Central University, Jhongli, Taiwan
- Due to the COVID-19 virus, the ICGAC14 will be arranged as a Web Conference.
ICGAC14 is the series of biennial conferences on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology which take place in the Asia-Pacific region, with the goals to promote cooperation among the member countries and within an international context, high level studies on hot topics and to encourage young physicists on these fields. This conference has been one of the key programs sponsored by APCTP over the past twenty years. It has been hosted by AP regions: Seoul, Korea (1993); Hsinchu, Taiwan (1995); Tokyo, Japan (1997); Beijing, China (1999); Moscow, Russia (2001); Seoul, Korea (2003); Jhongli, Taiwan (2005); Nara, Japan (2007); Wuhan, China (2009); Qui-Nhon, Vietnam (2011); Almaty, Kazakhstan (2013); Moscow, Russia (2015), Seoul, Korea (2017). After ICGAC-XIII at Ewha Womans University (2017), it will be held at National Central University, Taiwan in 2020 as a sequence of MG, GRG and ICGAC for every three years.
