Precision Gravitational Wave Astronomy: From Theory to Discovery July 27-31 in Sexten, Italy
With upcoming detectors on the ground and in space, we will be able to detect black holes at the edge of the observable universe and test general relativity in its most extreme regimes. However, as the measurements become more sensitive, so does the challenge of interpreting them. Small anomalies in the data could point to new physics—or just reflect environmental effects, modeling uncertainties, or instrumental noise. This workshop, part of the ERC synergy GWSky project, will bring together researchers working across theory, simulations, and observations to tackle this challenge, and build the tools and frameworks needed to make sense of future discoveries. This workshop is by invitation only.

Ripples Through Time: Past Triumphs, Mapping the Future, November 25-27, 2026 at UWA Perth
Celebrating 50 years of gravitational wave research, science education, and future innovation
A century ago gravitational wave detection was thought to be impossible. Fifty years ago it was the quest of a small bunch of intrepid physicists. They faced challenge after challenge, but their optimism persisted. They uncovered new physics, invented novel instruments and new techniques. New disciplines like quantum optomechanics, space laser communication, clock technology and airborne exploration technologies emerged from their efforts. Year after year they overcame setbacks, never imagining that it would take 40 years of struggle to achieve their quest.
