An international workshop ``Gravitation and Experiment'' has been organized by CNRS on the topics related to:
The aims of the meeting were to strengthen the collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians, to prepare the next generations of experiments and to give rise to new experimental and theoretical ideas.
The meeting was supported by French Ministry of Education and Research, CNRS, CEA, CNES and Observatoire de Paris.
Organisers Luc Blanchet and Serge Reynaud
Scientific Committee C. Bordé, A. Brillet, T. Damour, J.P. Lasota, C. Veillet and M. Yvert
