Virtual Iberian Gravitational Wave Meeting

Oct 19, 2020, 8:00 AM → Oct 20, 2020, 8:00 PM Europe/Madrid

Video only

Carlos Sopuerta (ICE), Mario Martinez (ICREA/IFAE)

We invite you to the Virtual Iberian Gravitational Wave Meeting, which will take place 19-20 October  2020.

The two-day meeting is a reduced version of the traditional Iberian Gravitational Waves Meeting that this year had to be cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemia.

This year virtual meeting  includes three invited speakers and a series of short talks describing the activities of the different groups working in gravitational waves in Spain and Portugal. The GW community in Spain and Portugal has been growing very fast and there are many new groups starting to take interest into GWs. This events will open the opportunity to  find points in common that could lead to new collaborations, synergies and funding opportunities.

The event also host the meeting of the REDONGRA network.

 

Invited Speakers

 

 Michela Mapelli, University of Padova
 Tsvi Piran, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
 Xavier Siemens, Oregon State University

 

Organising committee:

 Pablo Cerdá-Durán, University of Valencia
 Sascha Husa, University of the Balearic Islands
 Mario Martinez, Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE)
 M. Ángeles Pérez-García, University of Salamanca
 Carlos Sopuerta, Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC)
 

Sponsored by ICE-CSIC-IEEC and IFAE
