Fundamental Physics Across the Gravitational-Wave Spectrum Workshop
Through August 22, 2025 ERC 401
The goal of the workshop is to foster interdisciplinary ideas and new collaborations by bringing together experts from across gravitational wave subfields to discuss the state of the field and what we can learn using gravitational waves as a tool, now and in the coming years. Topics will include primordial backgrounds, compact binaries, pulsar timing arrays, and next generation experiments.
Registration required.
