The 4th KAGRA International Workshop will be held in Ewha Woman’s University, located in Seoul, Korea in June 29-30, 2018.
The main theme of the KAGRA International Workshop (KIW) centers on the KAGRA project, but also encompasses all related fields such as other gravitational wave experiments, gravitational wave sciences, and multi- messenger astronomy. Everybody interested in contributing to the KAGRA project and gravitational wave science in general is welcome to join the meeting.
A public lecture by Prof. Takaaki Kajita, the PI of KAGRA Project on the topic of “Gravitational wave astronomy with KAGRA” is also held during the workshop.
Visit workshop website http://yangjs.inje.ac.kr/Symposium/kiw for the details and registration (deadline: June 15) .
On March 30, Louisiana State University’s Professor Gabriela González, the former Spokesperson of LIGO Scientific Collaboration, visited the experimental site of KAGRA. Assistant Professor Keiko Kokeyama, who moved from LSU to ICRR in 2015, guided her in the KAGRA underground site. Prof. González enjoyed to see the status of preparation of the experiment.
