Since the first detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in 2015, GW astronomy has entered a transformative era, marked by groundbreaking observations and rapid technological advancements.  This discussion meeting will bring together leading experts and early career researchers across theory, experiment and data science to explore emerging challenges and opportunities in GW physics and astronomy. This will also be a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the first detection of GWs. The meeting will feature a small number of review talks that will summarise the status and the challenges of different subtopics, followed by panel discussions and interaction sessions to facilitate collaborations. 

Eligibility: The meeting is meant for working scientists (including PhD students) in GW science and related areas. 

Support: Selected outstation participants will be given on-campus accommodation. However, no travel support is available. 

ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.
