Participate in the 2025 Awards for Essays on Gravitation by Gravity Research Foundation. The deadline is March 31, 2025!
The Gravity Research Foundationis an organization established in 1948 by businessman Roger Babson, founder of Babson College to find ways to implement gravitational shielding. Over time, the foundation turned away from trying to block gravity and began trying to understand it. It holds an annual contest rewarding essays by scientific researchers on gravity-related topics.
In 2025, for our seventy-sixth competition, the trustees of the Gravity Research Foundation are offering five awards for short essays for stimulating thought and encouraging work on the phenomenon of gravitation.
Title page should include all the following: essay title, authors’ names (specify corresponding author), e-mail and mailing addresses, submission date, an abstract of 125 words or fewer, and the statement: “Essay written for the Gravity Research Foundation 2025 Awards for Essays on Gravitation.” Pages should be numbered.
The five award-winning essays will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Modern Physics D (IJMPD). Authors of essays designated Honorable Mention will be invited to submit their essays to the IJMPD where these may undergo additional refereeing at editorial discretion for possible publication. Authors of all other essays are free and encouraged to publish their essays after May 15th.
Submissions need to be mailed to George M. Rideout, Jr., President (grideoutjr[at]aol[dot]com)
