 The Age of Discovery\nThis is the first edition of GRaviCon\, a gravity co
 nference held in Pisa\, organized by early-career scientists from Universi
 ty of Pisa\, University of Florence\, University of Trento\, and Scuola No
 rmale Superiore.\n \nGravitational waves have revolutionized our understa
 nding of the universe since their first detection ten years ago. Step by s
 tep\, we are advancing in characterizing gravitational wave sources\, refi
 ning our knowledge of compact objects\, their histories and population mod
 els.At the same time\, new experiments aim to push the frontiers of gravit
 ational-wave astronomy\, investigating a variety of still unobserved sourc
 es. These developments inevitably introduce new scientific and technical c
 hallenges.\nThe conference aims to strengthen the connection between data 
 analysis\, instrument science\, and observations\, fostering collaboration
  across these areas to tackle the challenges of gravitational-wave researc
 h. We will also highlight different experiments and missions - such as LVK
 \, Einstein Telescope\, LISA\, PTA\, and LiteBIRD - and explore how their 
 findings can complement one another.\nOrganized by early-career scientists
 \, this conference provides a platform to deepen discussions on the curren
 t state and future directions of gravitational-wave science.\n \nNo FEE i
 s required. Coffee breaks and lunches are offered by the organization.\nTh
 is conference has received financial support from the Scuola Normale Super
 iore through PNRR project MERITA\, the network for talent project * and IN
 FN Pisa.    * MERITA\, the network for talent project is the result of
  a collaboration between five Italian academic institutions: the Scuola No
 rmale Superiore\, the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna\, the Collegio Superior
 e dell’Università di Bologna\, the Scuola Galileiana di Studi Superiori
  dell’Università di Padova and the Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati d
 ella Sapienza Università di Roma.The MERITA project is funded within the 
 Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR)\, Missione 4 – Istruzione
  e Ricerca\, Componente 1\, Investimento 3.4 "Didattica e competenze unive
 rsitarie avanzate"- "Rafforzamento delle Scuole universitarie superiori".
