Find out more about the
Einstein-First programme, an initiative by the University of Western Australia, Ozgrav and LIGO Scientific Collaboration to promote Einsteinian Physics in schools 👩‍🏫🧑‍🏫💫

Children's day is celebrated in India on 14 Nov and globally on 20 Nov. Celebrate Children's week with LIGO-India, as we highlight the wonderful initiatives and resources for school students who are keen to discover Gravitational wave science! 🧒👦✨

Five days. Forty participants. One shared passion — exploring the universe through gravitational waves!
Five inspiring days of discovery and learning at the Workshop on Gravitational Waves and LIGO India, held at HNB Garhwal University

Detection alert 📢 Gravitational waves from two black hole collisions revealed how massive black holes form and allowed theories of General relativity and Particle physics to be tested. Find out from the blog article by Ish Gupta, postdoc @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, part of the discovery team.

After a successful 1st edition, LIGOIndia & UofGlasgow
are back with Build-a-Detector Workshop: an exclusive opportunity for Indian students to. Learn from global experts. Design your own GW detector, win a chance to present your design @uofglasgow.bsky.social &

Ever wondered how a #GravitationalWave Detector like LIGO-India is built? Step into the world of precision science and discover what goes into creating one of the most sensitive instruments in the world!

There was a press announcement of an exceptional LVK discovery GW250114 by Rahul Kashyap. The event also included a fun GW Science games session and a public talk by Sanjeev Dhurandhar. The programme was attended by a large enthusiastic audience and was featured in news articles

The discussion relived the moments of the first detection and history of the GW astronomy in India, explained GW Science and multi-messenger astronomy, provided information about the LIGO-India project as well as the future of GW astronomy and planned Indian space-missions

The highlight of the event was a panel discussion, moderated by LIEPO Chair in conversation with reputed senior scientists from the LISC as panelists, including P. Ajith, Archana Pai, Anand Sengupta, Subroto Mukherjee, Sanjit Mitra and Rajesh Kumble Nayak.

14th Sep was celebrated internationally by the international scientific community as the tenth anniversary of the first direct detection of #Gravitationalwaves. LIGO-India EPO joined the global celebration by organising a special event on this day
