Description
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.
ย
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, instrument science, 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.
ย
No FEE is required.
Coffee breaks and lunches are offered by the organization.
This conference has received financial support from the Scuola Normale Superiore through PNRR project MERITA, the network for talent project * and INFN Pisa.
ย ย 
*ย MERITA, the network for talent projectย is the result of a collaboration between five Italian academic institutions: the Scuola Normale Superiore, the Scuola Superiore SantโAnna, the Collegio Superiore dellโUniversitร di Bologna, the Scuola Galileiana di Studi Superiori dellโUniversitร di Padova and the Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati della Sapienza Universitร di Roma.
The MERITA project is funded within the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR), Missione 4 โ Istruzione e Ricerca, Componente 1, Investimento 3.4 "Didattica e competenze universitarie avanzate"- "Rafforzamento delle Scuole universitarie superiori". (National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Mission 4 โ Education and Research, Component 1, Investment 3.4 "Advanced university teaching and competences" - "Enhancement of the institutions for higher education").
