Dawn VII
We are excited to announce that Dawn VII 2024 will be held in person at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver.
The meeting will be on Wednesday, June 12 – Thursday, June 13, 2024 with satellite meetings on Friday, June 14.
This discussion-based workshop will focus on planning for upgrades to the LIGO detectors (in the 2030-2035 timeframe) and the next-generation Cosmic Explorer detectors, in the context of a global network of future ground-based detectors. A major aim for this meeting is to engage a broad representation of our global community to place plans for new detectors in the context of multi-messenger astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics, and astronomy.
We encourage you to register by May 10th, which will be the last day to obtain a discount on accommodation and secure your spot in the reserved room block.
