The Italian Society on General Relativity and Gravitation (SIGRAV), founded in 1990, is a non-profit association whose purpose is to bring together the members of Italian scientific community who are interested in various aspects of general relativity and in gravitation physics.
SIGRAV brings together experts and researchers involved in classical and quantum gravity, astrophysics, relativistic cosmology and experimental gravity, and it has been organizing biennial national congresses. Its other activities include managing the SIGRAV School and the Virgo School. At the time of the national congress it awards the SIGRAV prizes and the Amaldi medal.
The official address of SIGRAV is located at viale F. Crispi, in L'Aquila, at the premises of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI).
