KAGRA face to face meeting
Date: Aug 1(Thu)- Aug 3(Sat), 2013
Location and access: Large hall on 2nd floor of faculty of science, Gofuku campus, University of Toyama
F2F meeting
The face-to-face meeting of KAGRA Collaboration will be held at Gofuku campus of the University of Toyama from the 1st to the 3rd of the August, 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. After the meeting of the 1st of August, International Board of Representatives will be held on. On the next evening, there is the banquet.
In this meeting, there are some special events. On the 31st of July, the day before this meeting, KAGRA Summer School on Gravitational Waves 2013 (Lecture about gravitational wave detection for beginners) and sites tour of KAGRA and CLIO will be held. On the night of the 1st of August, you can enjoy firework festival supported by Kita-Nihon Newspaper.
I hope in this meeting that we have wide and deep discussions to find the best ways to fulfill the scientific objectives of KAGRA.
