The Third Hermann Minkowski Meeting on the Foundations of Spacetime Physics will commemorate the 115th anniversary of Minkowski&rsquo\;s 1908 world-view-changing lecture &ldquo\;Space and Time\,&rdquo\; which presented the novel ideas of the spacetime structure of the world and the four-dimensional physics of spacetime. In addition to technical papers on areas related to Minkowski&rsquo\;s contributions to the foundations of spacetime physics\, papers on closely related topics\, including on conceptual issues of spacetime physics\, will be also welcome.
\n\nThere will be a special session on how Hermann Minkowski\, had he been alive in 1915\, might have reformulated Einstein&rsquo\;s general relativity: whether gravitational phenomena can be fully accounted for by the non-Euclidean geometry of spacetime without the need to assume that gravitation is a physical interaction\; in 1921 Eddington mentioned this possibility explicitly &ndash\; &ldquo\;gravitation as a separate agency becomes unnecessary&rdquo\; (A. S. Eddington\, The Relativity of Time\, Nature 106\, 802-804\, 17 February 1921).
\n\nContributed papers in the form of extended abstracts of up to two pages should be emailed to minkowski2023@minkowskiinstitute.org by January 31\, 2023. Submissions will be reviewed and notification of acceptance will be sent by February 28\, 2023.
