Gravitational Waves - The First Ten Years of a New Astronomy

Discover the Universe in Motion: Ten Years of Gravitational Wave Astronomy

On Tuesday 7 October, join experts from the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) for a fascinating evening celebrating one of the most exciting scientific achievements of the last decade: the detection of gravitational waves.

The event will be taking place in the Spinnaker Tower on the View Deck 1.

Gravitational wave astronomy has opened an entirely new way of exploring the cosmos, revealing extraordinary events such as black hole mergers and neutron star collisions. In this event, our speakers will reflect on the groundbreaking discoveries from the first ten years of this field, share insights into how these findings are reshaping our understanding of the Universe, and look ahead to the ambitious plans and technologies driving the next wave of exploration.

Whether you’re a science enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about the mysteries of space, this is your chance to hear directly from leading researchers and be part of the conversation about the future of astronomy.
