• EREP 2026, Spanish & Portuguese Relativity Meeting, May 25-29 in Murcia

    EREP 2026, Spanish & Portuguese Relativity Meeting, May 25-29 in Murcia The Spanish-Portuguese Relativity Meetings (EREPs) are a long-standing scientific tradition that began in 1977. Since then, they have served as a key forum for the Portuguese and Spanish communities working in General Relativity and Gravitation, promoting collaboration and the exchange of ideas across a broad range of topics. Organized annually by different research groups from both countries, EREPs have become the most prominent conference on gravitation and relativity in the Iberian Peninsula. Meeting Website

  • GWADW2026 – Gravitational-Wave Advanced Detector Workshop, May 17-23, 2026, La Biodola

    GWADW2026 – Gravitational-Wave Advanced Detector Workshop, May 17-23, 2026, La Biodola With more than 250 detected events, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network has successfully concluded on November 18, 2025, the third part of the O4 observing run (O4c). An intense activity to analyze the collected data is ongoing, and in the meantime plans for upgrades toward O5 are prepared, to further increase the number of detected coalescences and with the aim of possibly detect new classes of gravitational wave emitters.

  • High-Energy Astrophysics: Sources and Detection – ISAPP School Paris-Saclay 2026, June 8-19, 2026

    High-Energy Astrophysics: Sources and Detection – ISAPP School Paris-Saclay 2026, June 8-19, 2026 The ISAPP school on „High-Energy Astrophysics: Sources and Detection“ will be held at the Institut Pascal, within the Paris-Saclay University, France. The goal of the school is to offer a general overview on topics in high energy astrophysics related to cosmic rays, from observations to the modelling of high-energy particle sources. It will particularly focus on mult-messenger observations, at the dawn of the CTA era. The school is primarily aimed at PhD students working in this field, as well as young postdocs. School Website

  • ET Germany Newsletter #3 – ETC Infos

    Update from the International Einstein Telescope (ET) Collaboration Our international Collaboration continues to grow steadily. We are now more than 2,000 members from 291 institutions across 34 countries. This broad community is one of our greatest assets as we move into the next decisive phase of the project. This year, a transition in leadership is approaching. After many years of service in building and shaping both the project and the Collaboration, Michele Punturo and I will hand over responsibilities to a new team. Our mandate concluded on 22 March 2026, and the new team took over: Michele Maggiore and Angelique Lartaux. Their election statement is available on the ET Wiki (https://wiki.et-gw.eu/CB/ElectionSPDSP2026), and they also presented…
