DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Massimiliano Razzano (University of Pisa and INFN-Pi
 sa)\, Francesco Fidecaro (University of Pisa and INFN)\n\n\nWith more than
  250 detected events\, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network has successfully con
 cluded on November 18\, 2025\, the third part of the O4 observing run
  (O4c). An intense activity to analyze the collected data is ongoing\, 
 and in the meantime plans for upgrades toward O5 are prepared\, to further
  increase the number of detected coalescences and with the aim of possib
 ly detect new classes of gravitational wave emitters. \n \n\n\nAt t
 he same time\, the preparatory work for third generation ground-based inte
 rferometers Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer is in full swing\, with
  many R&D activities going on\, new laboratories coming online and new con
 cepts being elaborated\, while the quality of the candidate sites are asse
 ssed. Lots of activities are also surrounding the preparation for the LISA
  mission\, expected to probe a completely different band  of the gravitat
 ional wave spectrum. \n\n\n \nThe gravitational wave community worldwide
  is growing\, stimulated by the challenges of new detectors on Earth and i
 n space. The Gravitational Wave Advanced Detector Workshop (GWADW) series 
 is one of the main opportunities worldwide to present the work on detector
 s leaving\, as is tradition\, ample space for informal discussions. \nThe
  scientific programme will consist of plenary sessions only\, with two pos
 ter sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. The daily work schedule wi
 ll be concentrated in the morning and in the evening leaving room for info
 rmal discussions around lunch time. \n \n\n\nGWADW 2026 will begin on Su
 nday\, May 17th and finish on early morning of Saturday May 23rd. \n\n \
