Invited speaker: François Schiettekatte (Université de Montréal)
Title: Material properties needed for the next generation mirrors

Reduction of quantum noise in interferometric gravitational wave detectors

QNRS

New ideas and challenges for quantum noise reduction. New approaches to quantum noise shaping.

Invited speaker: Ray-Kuang Lee (National Tsing Hua University)

Stray light mitigation

STRL

Straylight modelling, characterization and mitigation tools for ground and space based GW detectors.

Invited speaker: Michel Lintz (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur)
Title: Measurement and identification of coherent stray light in complex interferometers

GW and multi-messenger observational science

OBMM

Multi wavelength GW observations (PTA, LISA, ground based, …) and multimessenger strategies.

Other challenges for future GW detectors

OTHR

Issues and advances in GW physics or detection which doesn’t explicitly fall within the scope of the other topical sessions.
