2024 KGWG Summer Meeting

2024 KGWG Summer Meeting

The 2024 Korean Gravitational Wave Group (KGWG) Summer Meeting will be held from July 22 (Mon), 2024 to July 23 (Tue), 2024 at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science (KASI) Headquarters, Daejeon. 

By virtue of about a hundred gravitational-wave (GW) observations made thus far, the GW astronomy era has emerged and the GW science is one of active research fields in both astronomical and astrophysical communities. Consequently, the international GW science community is growing rapidly. Moreover, the next generation GW detectors will be online in the near future along with the initiation of the International Gravitational-Wave Observatory Network beyond the current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network. Therefore, it is timely to exchange our knowledge about what we have done and what we can do in the era of the GW astronomy and multi-messenger astronomy. 

During this Summer Meeting, we will discuss various topics in all disciplines of the GW science, such as 

• GW astrophysics (theoretical/observational)
• GW cosmology (theoretical/observational)
• GW data analysis 
• GW experiment 

We encourage you to submit an abstract of your original work corresponding to any discipline of the GW science. Please note that there is no restriction on the level of accomplishment, namely, you can submit an abstract of either a work already published at a scientific journal or an ongoing work.

We gently ask you to save the date of this meeting and following deadlines:

• Registration Deadline: July 1 (Mon), 2024 23:59 KST
• Abstract Submission Deadline: June 24 (Mon), 2024 23:59 KST
• (Extended) Abstract Submission Deadline: July 1 (Mon), 2024 23:59 KST
  • 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 seeing many of you at KASI this summer!
