Between July 3rd and July 6th, 2023, the Bauman Moscow State Technical University held the 23rd International Scientific Conference on Modern Problems of the Relativity Theory, Cosmology and Astrophysics, known as "Physical Interpretations of the Relativity Theory: PIRT-2023". 

The PIRT conference is an international scientific event originating in 1988, first held biennially at Imperial College London and later, since 2003, at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. 

The Chairman of the International Organizing Committee is Mikhail Gordin, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, while the Co-Chairman is Professor Vladimir Gladyshev, Head of Scientific Educational Complex of Fundamental Sciences. The Chairman of the International Academic Committee is Alexey Starobinsky, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 

The 23rd PIRT conference primarily aimed to discuss the following topics: modern generalizations of the relativity theory and its observed consequences; experimental verification of the relativity theory; methods for gravitational wave recording; effects of relativistic electrodynamics and optics in moving media; astrophysical observations and space-based experiments. 

The conference program focused on the latest achievements in the theory of gravity, cosmology and astrophysics, which attracted over 150 researchers from 27 countries. Over 60 participants from 5 countries gave their presentations in the conference hall of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University; other participants and listeners attended the conference remotely via Zoom. An extensive cultural program was arranged for the conference attendees.

July 3, 2023, Bauman Moscow State Technical University hosted the opening ceremony of the XXIII International Conference "Physical Interpretations of the Relativity Theory PIRT-2023". In a moment in which distance learning is more important than ever, the PIRT-2023 conference held in the Conference-Hall of Educational and Laboratory Building is providing an opportunity for all participants to share and present their contributions by means of modern multimedia technology, which allows presentations to be given both distantly and in person.

The PIRT-2023 program is dedicated to the latest advances in the theory of gravity, cosmology, astrophysics; more than 150 researchers from 23 countries plan to take part in the conference.

In parallel with the conference, the IV Summer Youth School "Gravity, Cosmology and Astrophysics ISGCA - 2023" started.

In order to encourage research in mathematics and physics, the Bauman Moscow State Technical University held competitions for the best scientific papers in mathematics and physics among those published in 2022.

After much deliberation, the top rankings in the physics paper competition were awarded to the following employees of the FN-4 department:

1st place
