DESCRIPTION:This is the third edition of the "Beyond Lorentzian Geometry" 
 workshops.  The first and second were held in Edinburgh in October 2019 a
 nd February 2023\, respectively\, and they were a resounding success.\nThi
 s meeting will be spread over three days: the first two days are devoted t
 o non-lorentzian geometry/physics and a third day celebrating the 63rd bir
 thday of José Figueroa-O'Farrill.\n \nBackground\nIt is by now well-esta
 blished that various notions of non-Lorentzian geometry (such as Newton-Ca
 rtan and Carrollian geometries) are commonplace in various areas of high-e
 nergy physics and beyond. For example in General Relativity they appear as
  boundary geometries\, on certain hypersurfaces inside a Lorentzian geomet
 ry and near singularities. In field theory they appear when one couples a 
 non-Lorentz invariant theory to a curved background. They also appear when
  making approximations such as in the context of the post-Newtonian expans
 ion in General Relativity or when approximating a field theory near some B
 PS bound. They finally also appear in String Theory for example as the T-d
 ual description of a discrete light cone quantisation of a relativistic cl
 osed string\, but also for example near BPS bounds in AdS/CFT\, and in man
 y other places and contexts.\n \nIn this workshop we would like to bring 
 together researchers working on both mathematical and physical aspects of 
 these upcoming exciting geometries.\n \nSpeakers\n\nStefano Baiguera\nEri
