DESCRIPTION:The fourth edition of the Valencia Winter Workshop on Theoreti
 cal Physics will take place online due to the COVID19 pandemics. Physical 
 displacements must be reduced for sanitary reasons\, but Physics must go o
 n .\n\nLike in previous editions\, this meeting is intended to bring toget
 her researchers with common interests on the geometric structure of space-
 time\, quantum properties of gravity\, cosmology\, and astrophysics who co
 llaborate with the host group via active projects (H2020-MSCA-RISE project
  FunFiCO-777740 or the i-COOP20462) or have close ties with them.\n\nFunda
 mental questions about the geometric foundations of gravitation\, the role
  of quantized fields in curved space-times\, cosmological and astrophysica
 l signatures of gravity within and beyond General Relativity\, and recent 
 developments on other topics\, will be reviewed in a series of talks with 
 a high dosis of discussions.\n\nThe idea of the workshop is to encourage e
 veryone\, from seniors to new students\, to present some results obtained 
 during the year 2020 that they find particularly relevant/interesting/easy
  to discuss in a relaxed way\, possibly using the pdf of a paper already o
 n arXiv or some scanned handwritten notes of a current work in progress\, 
 and addressing a few simple questions:\n\n\n	What is it about?\n	Why is it
  important? (An explanation of what is unique and/or timely about this top
 ic and the difference it might make with respect to previous work).\n	Pers
 pectives.\n\n\nThe contributions are NOT expected to last 60 minutes. Rath
 er 15-25 minute conceptual presentations with minimal calculations are enc
 ouraged for everyone. The subsequent discussion and questions could extend
  up to 60' (in the case of senior researchers) or even more if necessary. 
 For students we expect talks of about 20' (+10' of discussion)\, and for p
 ostdocs up to 30'(+15' of discussion) at most. All non-essential calculati
 ons could be provided to those interested for their individual analysis. T
 he idea is to have talks not too focused on technicalities but have more d
 iscussions which could lead to new works/collaborations in 2021 and beyond
 .\n\nThis meeting is organized by the Quantum Black Holes\, Supergravity a
 nd Cosmology group at the Department of Theoretical Physics & IFIC of the 
 University of Valencia & CSIC\, Spain.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/
