Welcome to the Gravitational Wave Physics and Astronomy Workshop 2025 (GWPAW). Registration and abstract submission are now open!
GWPAW is an annual gathering for the gravitational-wave community, bringing together researchers from across physics, astronomy, and cosmology. The workshop covers a broad spectrum of topics, including detection methods, observational results, multi-messenger counterparts, and the scientific implications of gravitational-wave discoveries.
We are excited to announce that GWPAW 2025 will take place in person at the Exhibition Hall on the Georgia Tech campus, centrally located in vibrant midtown Atlanta. The workshop will run from December 1–4, 2025. We look forward to welcoming you to Atlanta this December!
