JoMaReC - Joint Online Mathematical Relativity Colloquium

Series comments: This monthly online colloquium is meant to be accessible to and informative for mathematicians and mathematical physicists with a background in General Relativity, widely interpreted to include Lorentzian Geometry, and Geometric Analysis of various Partial Differential Equations related to General Relativity.

It is aimed to present motivation and applications of particular results and/or introduce specific subfields, while refraining from too much technicalities.
