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
