Summary

The 3rd International Meeting on Gravitation and Cosmology was devoted to several topics of current interest in Modern Cosmology, Astrophysics and Gravity, with emphasis on hybrid models of dark energy and dark matter, as well as brane worlds. It also included presentations of current research conducted mainly by Cuban, Mexican, as well as North American experts in these fields.
