F2F meeting

The face-to-face meeting of KAGRA Collaboration will be held at Kashiwa campus from the 30th of July to the 1st of August, 2012. The objective of this meeting is to let all collaboration members know the current status of KAGRA and is to exchange information among different sub-systems for coherently and efficiently conducting the project. We may have to discuss unsolved problems that have been studied by the special working groups and will make decisions if possible. On the first day, we will hear talks from persons and groups that hope to join the collaboration, and also decide upon their application. We shall also hear about management issues. After the meeting, International Board of Representatives will be held on. On this evening, there is the ceremony for KAGRA new logo in Banquet. Proposers of the KAGRA logo will be rewarded. On the second and third days, the report of the sub-working groups will be presented. In the third day, we will have talks on R&D for advanced detectors.

I hope in this meeting that we have wide and deep discussions to find the best ways to fulfill the scientific objectives of KAGRA.
