The Simons Foundation provides 8 million US dollars to fund a worldwide collaboration on black holes and strong gravity.
The @mpi_grav in Potsdam is part of the network aiming to decipher the secrets encoded in gravitational-wave data.

The newly funded “Simons Collaboration on Black Holes and Strong Gravity” will support the work of 12 institutions, bringing together experts in gravity and black holes from theoretical physics, mathematics, numerical computation, AI-assisted data analysis and gravitational-wave observation. The collaboration will develop a robust theoretical framework for interpreting the information about strong gravity encoded in gravitational-wave data, including the matter–antimatter asymmetry of the universe, the nature of dark matter and potential extensions to Einstein's theory of general relativity.
