중력파 관측 10주년 기념 워크샵 -- Workshop for the 10th Anniversary of the Discovery of Gravitational Waves

Workshop for the 10th Anniversary of the Discovery of Gravitational Waves and KGWG Assembly Meeting

The 2025 Korean Gravitational Wave Group (KGWG) Summer Meeting will be held at Seoul National University during Aug. 27 (Wed) - 28 (Thu), 2025. 

This year is the 10th anniversary of the historic first observation of gravitational waves, GW150914. To celebrate it the meeting will focus on 

• Dedicated reviews on the main scientific achievements
• Impacts on various fields of science and technology
• Future prospects in gravitational wave research
• Strategic discussions on GW science in Korea

 in addition to the usual contributed talks by members. To mark the 10th anniversary a public lecture is also planned for students and citizens.

We encourage you to present your work or work in progress. There is no registration fee.

Important dates:

• Registration Re-opened: August 20 - 25 (Mon), 2025 11:59 KST
• Registration Deadline: August 1 (Tue), 2025 23:59 KST ==> August 7 (Thurs)
• Abstract Submission Deadline: August 1 (Tue), 2025 23:59 KST  ==> August 7 (Thurs)
  • Abstract submission requires a KGWG Indico account.
  • If you don't have an account yet, you can create it via the 'Login' button on the top-right corner.

We look forward to welcoming you at SNU for this occasion!
