DESCRIPTION:The Asian Gravitational Wave Astronomy Meeting 2026 will be he
 ld on July 5–11\, 2026\, at the National Astronomical Research Institute
  of Thailand in Chiang Mai\, Thailand. This meeting aims to bring togethe
 r students\, early-career researchers\, and experts across Asia and beyond
  to discuss recent developments in gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy\, ast
 rophysics\, cosmology\, and fundamental physics. This meeting follows the
  successful APCTP-GW2025 program held at Academia Sinica\, Taipei.\n\nAGWA
 M-2026 is structured as an integrated six-day program with two complementa
 ry components\, organised on alternating days to maximise interaction betw
 een early-career researchers (ECRs)\, students\, and experts throughout th
 e week.\n\nThe first component is a three-day student school\, designed to
  provide a broad and accessible introduction to GW science. It will featur
 e pedagogical lectures by leading experts and hands-on sessions covering k
 ey aspects of GW data analysis and observational techniques\, such as puls
 ar timing.\n\nThe second component is a three-day technical workshop\, foc
 using on current research topics and recent advances in the field.  It wi
 ll include invited talks\, contributed presentations\, and open discussion
 s\, with a strong emphasis on fostering participation by ECRs. \n\nBy alt
 ernating school days and workshop days\, the program ensures that students
  and ECRs can engage closely with experts over the full week\, moving seam
 lessly from foundational learning to cutting-edge research discussions The
  scientific program will cover a broad range of topics\, including:\n\nPul
 sar Timing Arrays (PTAs) & Their Transformative Sciences\nCurrent and futu
 re  ground-based GW observatories & Their Precision Sciences\nSpace-based
  GW missions  & Their Discovery-Driven Sciences\nEarly-Universe Probes  
 & Their Foundational Sciences\nData Analysis\, Signal Processing  & Their
  Computational Sciences\n\nDistinguished Invited Speakers\nAlvin Chua (Nat
 ional University of Singapore)\nAndrew Miller (International Center for Th
 eoretical Physics\, Asia Pacific)\nBruce Allen (Max Planck Institute for G
 ravitational Physics)\nChunglee Kim (Ewha Womans University)\nDong Lai (Ts
 ung-Dao Lee Institute)\nFeng-Li Lin (National Taiwan Normal Normal Univers
 ity)\nHyung Mok Lee (Seoul National University)\nMairi Sakellariadou (King
 's College London)\nMaria Alessandra Papa (Max Planck Institute for Gravit
 ational Physics)\nMasahide Yamaguchi (Institute for Basic Science\, Korea)
 \nMyungshin Im (Seoul National University)\nOtto Hannuksela (The Chinese U
 niversity of Hong Kong)\nQuynh Lan Nguyen (Phenikaa University)\nSiyuan Ch
 en (Shanghai Astronomical Observatory)\nSupakchai Ponglertsakul (Silpakorn
  University)\nTakahiro Tanaka (Kyoto University)\nWang-Wei Yu (Max Planck 
 Institute for Gravitational Physics)\nYan Wang (Huazhong University of Sci
 ence and Technology)\nYuki Inoue (National Central University\, Taiwan)\n\
 nStudents and early-career researchers are especially encouraged to partic
 ipate. The meeting will provide an inclusive platform for learning\, discu
 ssion\, and networking with established leaders in the field. \n\nA dedic
 ated open forum will address the theme of strengthening multi-band and mul
 ti-messenger GW astronomy in the Asia-Pacific region\, with the explicit g
 oal of identifying collaborative opportunities and establishing long-term 
 scientific priorities.\n\nContributed talks and posters are welcome\; howe
 ver\, presentation slots are limited.\n\nDeadline for registration and abs
 tract submission: May 15\, 2026\n\nSupport for attending the meeting will 
 be available to deserving participants.\n\nLight refreshments will be prov
 ided during breaks. Participants will be responsible for their own meals.
  A conference banquet will be organised during the week.\n\nFurther detai
 ls regarding registration\, abstract submission\, and the scientific progr
 am will be announced on this page.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/236
