DESCRIPTION:2026 KGWG Summer Meeting                         
        The 2026 Korean Gravitational Wave Group (KGWG) Summer Meeting 
 will be held from July 15 (Wed) to 16 (Thu)\, 2026 at POSTECH\, Pohang.
  With more than three hundred observations of gravitational wave (GW) eve
 nts made thus far\, the GW astronomy era has emerged\, and GW science has 
 become one of the most active research fields in both the astronomical and
  astrophysical communities. Consequently\, the international GW science co
 mmunity is growing rapidly. Moreover\, next-generation GW detectors will g
 o online in the near future along with the initiation of the International
  Gravitational-Wave Observatory Network beyond the current LIGO-Virgo-KAGR
 A network. Therefore\, it is timely to exchange our knowledge about what w
 e have done and what we can do in the era of GW astronomy and multi-messen
 ger astronomy. During this Summer Meeting\, we will discuss various topic
 s in all disciplines of the GW science\, such as GW astrophysics (theoret
 ical/observational)GW cosmology (theoretical/observational)GW data analysi
 s GW experiment We also feature the following special sessions\;Special 
 lecture by Prof. Takaaki Kajita\, followed by a discussion on GW science i
 n East Asian countriesLuncheon and networking session for junior researche
 rs and students (July 16)We encourage you to submit an abstract of your or
 iginal work corresponding to any discipline of GW science. Please note tha
 t there is no restriction on the stage of research\; abstracts of either p
 reviously published articles or ongoing projects are welcome.Please save t
 he dates for this meeting and the upcoming deadlines:Registration Deadline
