On 2016 February 11, two major international collaborations jointly announced the discovery of gravitational waves (GWs). The signal, produced by the collision of two black holes in the distance universe, was detected by two LIGO observatories on 2015 September 14. This confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity and opens a new observational window onto the universe. The Indian scientific community has made significant contributions to the GW science. The ICTS discussion meeting The Future of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy (with an associated conference) is organized to make use of this momentum to intensify the Indian contribution to this emerging research frontier.  The meeting will bring together researchers from various aspects of GW science and from related areas, with an aim to develop more active collaborations. Discussion meeting (April 4 to April 8, 2016) The discussion meeting is meant for active researchers in GW astronomy and related areas. Due to ...

Bangalore institutes working on various aspects of Astronomy & Astrophysics have been organizing the biannual Neighborhood Astronomy Meetings (NAM) over the last few years. These are informal academic meetings, which bring together astronomers and astrophysicists from the Indian Institute of Science, Raman Research Institute, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Indian Space Research Organization, Bangalore Planetarium, Bangalore University and ICTS. The latest meeting is being held at ICTS.
