  • Iberian GW Meeting and International School on GWs 2026, Apr 26 – May 02, Benasque

    Iberian GW Meeting and International School on GWs 2026, Apr 26 – May 02, Benasque The Iberian Gravitational Wave Meetings (IGWM) are annual meetings organized by the REDONGRA community which have played a key role in establishing a Spanish GW community, and in integrating new groups. We organize these meetings with focus on specific joint R&D activities, in particular toward maximizing the Spanish role in the breakthrough discoveries expected in the next few years (the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detections and the new Pulsar Timing Array data), and in developing the future Einstein Telescope (ET) and LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) observatories.
