The 8th KAGRA International Workshop (KIW8):

Toward the 4th Observing Run of the Detector Network: From Physics
to Astronomy

July 7-9 2021

Dear colleagues,

The 8 th KAGRA international workshop (KIW) will be held during
July 7-9 2021. This workshop is hosted by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science
Institute (KASI). KIW8 is a continuation of the effort to promote more active
international collaboration on KAGRA, and is open to all scientists who are
interested in contributing to the KAGRA project. This is the third KIW hosted
by Korean gravitational wave community, after KIW1 in 2016 at KISTI, Daejeon
and KIW4 at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. Because of the COVID-19, this
meeting will be fully held remotely. The COVID-19 certainly slowed down overall
scientific activities, but many progresses have been made even under such a
stressful situation. In particular, the fourth observing run (O4) is planned to
start sometime in 2022 without much delay and KAGRA will join this global
efforts for hunting more gravitational wave events with better sensitivity and
accuracy. Thus the main theme of this workshop will be O4. We encourage
researchers of both experiment and theory, especially of young generations, to
make contributions and exchange the ideas at this KIW8. Please register at the
meeting homepage by June 30, 2021. There is no registration fee.
