First Announcement
The 8th KAGRA international workshop (KIW) will be held during July 7-9 2021. This workshop is hosted by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). KIW8 is a continuation of the effort to promote more active international collaboration on KAGRA, and is open to all scientists who are interested in contributing to the KAGRA project. This is the third KIW hosted by Korean gravitational wave community, after KIW1 in 2016 at KISTI, Daejeon and KIW4 at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. Because of the COVID-19, this meeting will be fully held remotely. The COVID-19 certainly slowed down overall scientific activities, but many progresses have been made even under such a stressful situation. In particular, the fourth observing run (O4) is planned to start sometime in 2022 without much delay and KAGRA will join this global efforts for hunting more gravitational wave events with better sensitivity and accuracy. Thus the main theme of this workshop will be O4.
We encourage researchers of both experiment and theory, especially of young generations, to make contributions and exchange the ideas at this KIW8. Please register at the meeting homepage by June 30, 2021. There is no registration fee.
