GRaviCon 2026

Gravitational Waves: The Age of Discovery

This is the first edition of GRaviCon, a gravity conference held in Pisa, organized by early-career scientists from University of Pisa, University of Florence, University of Trento, and Scuola Normale Superiore.

 

Gravitational waves have revolutionized our understanding of the universe since their first detection ten years ago. Step by step, we are advancing in characterizing gravitational wave sources, refining our knowledge of compact objects, their histories and population models.
At the same time, new experiments aim to push the frontiers of gravitational-wave astronomy, investigating a variety of still unobserved sources. These developments inevitably introduce new scientific and technical challenges.

The conference aims to strengthen the connection between data analysis, experiments, and observations, fostering collaboration across these areas to tackle the challenges of gravitational-wave research. 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.

Organized by early-career scientists, this conference provides a platform to deepen discussions on the current state and future directions of gravitational-wave science.

 

No FEE is required.
