A few days before leaving Prague, after 15 months spent at the German part of Charles-Ferdinand University, Albert Einstein submitted a paper titled Relativity and Gravitation. Reply to a Comment by M. Abraham. It was received by Annalen der Physik on July 4, 1912. Stimulated by Abraham’s criticism, Einstein summarized the contemporary state of his relativistic theory of gravitation and, remarkably, anticipated what a future theory of gravity should look like. The organizers of the conference ‘‘Relativity and Gravitation: 100 Years After Einstein in Prague,’’held in Prague on June 25–29, 2012, were inspired by the title, date, and significance of this last of Einstein’s Prague papers. The aim of the conference was to review the present status of the general theory of relativity (both classical and quantum) and its applications in cosmology and astrophysics from a broad perspective. The articles based on the plenary lectures are published in a separate volume General Relativity, Cosmology and Astrophysics: Perspectives 100 Years After Einstein’s stay in Prague (Springer 2014). The titles and the abstracts of these review talks are included in these Proceedings in the first chapter. The second aim of the conference was to present the newest results in each of the fields mentioned above. These were presented in afternoon sessions consisting of contributed talks and posters. This Proceedings Volume contains such contributions. For a better overview, they are divided into three parts:
