The Gravitation and Mathematical Physics Division (DGFM) of the Mexican Physical Society (SMF) is organizing its VII School.  Since 1994 we have organized the "Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics" every two years.  The main goal of our schools is to discuss and exchange current ideas in gravitational physics in a pedagogical manner.  Each school is devoted to a particular subject. Traditionally, we have invited world leaders in specific topics, among these we can mention A. Ashtekar, B. Carter, G. Gibbons, M. Heusler, W. Israel, F. Mueller-Hoisen, R. Myers, Y. Neeman, L. Randall, R. Sorkin, P. Van Nieuwenhuiz.  The last School focused on quantum gravity and included courses and lectures by A.P. Balachandran, P.T. Chrusciel, R. Kallosh, A. Peet, C. Rovelli,  J.D. Barrow, M. Bojowald, A. Corichi, A. Linde, O. Obregon, A. Perez, L. Smolin and R. Wald.

On this ocassion, the subject of the School will be "relativistic astrophysics and numerical relativity":  Black holes, neutron stars, gravitational waves, dark matter, etc.  The aim of this School is to present the basic ideas and techniques behind the use of General Relativity as a tool in our understanding of astrophysical phenomena.

The scientific program will include several courses and plenary talks, and a number of short invited talks.  There will also be time for 18 parallel talks of 20 minutes each, and space for poster presentations.
