Location and access: University of Toyama, Kashiwa campus, 6F large conference room

F2F meeting
The face-to-face meeting of KAGRA Collaboration will be held at Kashiwa campus from the 14th to the 16th of the February, 2013. 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. On the first and second days, there will be the session for Status of International Collaborations and Project management. After the meeting of the 14th of February, International Board of Representatives will be held on. On the next evening, there is the banquet. On the second and third days, the report of the sub-working groups will be presented.
I hope in this meeting that we have wide and deep discussions to find the best ways to fulfill the scientific objectives of KAGRA.
