And that's a wrap for GWADW 2024

Thank you to all who participated and made it a success!

Welcome to the 2024 Gravitational Wave Advanced Detector Workshop

We are delighted to host the 2024 Gravitational Wave Advanced Detector Workshop, a one-week event dedicated to exploring cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of gravitational wave detection. This workshop follows the kickoff of Observation Run 4 (O4) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration on May 24, 2023, igniting a new wave of gravitational wave detections.

​
GWADW will be held as an in person event in Hamilton Island, Australia, 12-18 May 2024.  

GWADW 2024 will be a workshop orientated experience, and focus on active discussions about the biggest opportunities and challenges for GW detectors over the next decade, and how the current experience can guide the design of next generation observatories and their detectors.

To welcome newcomers to the field and allow old hands to refresh their knowledge, we are planning to start each day with a tutorial on topics of interest.


​Broad themes encompassing the pressing challenges that will be covered during the workshops are:
  • Laboratory scale experiments supporting future detectors and how to train next generation instrumentation specialists.
  • Post-O5 upgrades and performance risk mitigation
  • Coatings for future detectors
  • Low-Frequency performance of detectors in next generation observatories and what we can learn from post-O5 3- and 4-km interferometers
  • Large scale infrastructure and vacuum systems for next generation observatories
  • Space Based detectors looking towards the 2040s and the 2050s
  • Machine learning for advanced instrumentation
  • Quantum metrology and interferometer topologies
  • Alternative techniques and configurations to enhance the detection of gravitational waves
Submitted abstracts will initially be offered the opportunity to present during one of the poster sessions. The conveners, with support of the scientific organising committee, will request specific presentations on particular topics in much the same way as when the meeting originated in Aspen.

Event Highlights: 
  • Welcome Reception
  • Contributed Presentations
  • Poster Sessions
  • Panel Discussions
  • ​Social Dinner 

​Venue: We are delighted to announce that the picturesque Hamilton Island, Australia, will set the stage for our workshop. Nestled amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, this idyllic destination offers the perfect backdrop for an inspiring and intellectually stimulating event. Our participants will have the pleasure of experiencing world-class accommodation at the renowned Reef View Hotel. 

Registration: Registration is now closed.

Call for Abstracts: Abstract submissions are now closed.
