The Division of Gravitation and Mathematical Physics (DGFM) of the Mexican Physical Society (SMF) is glad to announce the celebration of its XIV Mexican School. As in previous events, our main goal is to provide an inviting arena for the exchanging and discussion of ideas on top developments in gravitational physics in a pedagogical manner. Apart from researchers, an important number of postdocs and graduate students take part in our School, which in this occasion will be focused on Modern Topics in Gravitation and Related Matters. The scientific program will include four courses, plenary talks, and sessions of parallel talks. Further details will appear in forthcoming announcements.
On this occasion, at the conclusion of the School, the VIII Scalar Field Dark Matter Workshop will take place.
The venue of the School and the Workshop will be the Hotel Iberostar Quetzal located in Playa del Carmen, Rivera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico, an inspiring place offering cultural features and natural beauty at the Caribbean coast, in a region where a number of Maya cities once flourished.

ACCOMMODATION (MX$ Mexican Pesos)/ All-inclusive hotel rate per night
- MX$3,880 per night Single Occupancy.
- MX$4,440 per night in Double Occupancy.
- MX$6,120 per night in Triple Occupancy.
The hotel, Iberostar Quetzal, is an "all-inclusive" resort, so room prices include accommodation plus 3 buffet-style meals, domestic drinks and snacks (the above rates do not include transportation to and from the airport).
- Local fee, "saneamiento ambiental" is not included in the rates above and must be paid at the hotel. MX$31.12 per room per night.
- The hotel charges a daily entrance fee for people not hosting in Iberostar due to its all-inclusive system.
- If you wish to stay longer, the same rates apply (subject on room availability) from September 21 to October 2.
- To ensure availability of special prize and room, reservation and payment before August 25 is advised since only a fixed number of them have been booked. They will be provided on a first arrived first served basis.
HOTEL PAYMENT AND RESERVATIONS
- For reservations and payment directly to the hotel, please fill out this form.
- For reservations and payment through the DGFM, there will be a %16 surcharge if you need deductible invoice (FACTURA), Send the reservation details to divgravfismat@gmail.com.
- To share a room with a specific person, payments should be synchronized as much as possible, arrival and leaving dates must coincide, please send the reservation details to Argelia Bernal, bernal.a@ugto.mx, divgravfismat@gmail.com
TRANSPORTATION
The best way to get to Playa del Carmen is by airplane to the Cancun International Airport. From there you can take a shuttle or a taxi to go directly to Hotel Iberostar situated on Playacar, Playa del Carmen, or take a bus to Playa del Carmen and from there a taxi to the hotel, (approx. 60 min). The hotel Iberostar is 15 min away from Xel-Há, half an hour from Xcaret, 45 mins from Tulum, among others. Rivera Maya has a lot of touristic places like Maya ruins, beaches, adventure centers, etc., for more information, you can visit: http://www.visitmexico.com/en/mayan-riviera.
