LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Gravitational Wave Open Data Workshop scheduled in May 2023

The LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA (LVK) collaboration announces its 6th edition of the Gravitational Wave Open Data workshop (GWODW) for May 15th to the 17th 2023. The workshop will tackle topics such as access to LVK public data, introduction to GW detectors and their data, techniques for GW data analysis, and interpretation of compact binary coalesce signals. As the last edition, the 6th GWODW will be a hybrid workshop. There will be remote lectures offered by LVK scientists on May 15th-17th from 9.00 CEST to 10.30 CEST. In parallel, each institution or group participating in the workshop can host an in-person "study hub". Study hubs are the central forum where the participants of the workshop can meet, discuss, and work together on the tutorial material prepared for the workshop. Study Hubs can be also a place to stream lectures. We warmly invite every institution hosting a GW expert that participates in the workshop to organize a study hub. More details about the workshop can be found on the conference website.

There is no fee for the workshop. Registrations to the workshop will be managed via Thinkific and the link for the streaming will be both uploaded on the platform and sent to the participants. If you are planning to organize a study hub at your institution, please use the following link to let other people know.

We are looking forward to meeting you
