Fourth Dutch Gravitational Wave meeting

chaired by G. Nelemans (Radboud University)
Friday, 20 February 2015 from to (Europe/Amsterdam)
at Leiden
Description Gravitational wave research in the Netherlands is rapidly taking shape and is becoming increasingly diverse. We organise the fourth Dutch National GW meeting, in order to bring together astronomers and physicists interested in gravitational wave science and inform each other of developments and new projects. The meeting will be held on Friday, February 20th 2015, at the Leiden University.

The day will start with a keynote lecture by Chiara Caprini on Gravitational Waves from the Early Universe followed by a talk by  Alexey Starobinsky. There will be overview talks on general topics/experiments as well as contributed talks on specific projects, particularly for students and post-docs.

The meeting is open to all interested researchers, also from outside the Netherlands. Please register at and contact us by e-mail to submit an abstract.
Participants Ana Achucarro; Michalis Agathos; Steven Bloemen; Ernst-Jan Buis; Saikat Chatterjee; Caprini Chiara; Giuseppe d'Ambrosi; Job de Kleuver; Selma de Mink; Jeroen Franse; Shaon Ghosh; Adrian Hamers; Jason Hessels; Julia Heuritsch; Gemma Janssen; Amruta Jaodand; Reinier Jonker; Peter Jonker; Rudolf Le Poole; Liu Leihua; Xuewen Liu; Braeuer Marion; Anja Marunovic; Jeroen Meidam; G.
