15th International LISA Syposium
The 15th International LISA Symposium was hosted by the Relativity Group at University College Dublin on 7th – 12th July 2024. The symposium featured a program dedicated to gravitational wave astrophysics, with particular emphasis on sources that can be observed in the millihertz band by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), the current status and unique challenges in gravitational theory and analysis for LISA sources, and the latest updates on the development of the LISA mission.
European Einstein Toolkit Meeting
The European Einstein Toolkit Meeting 2022 will be held at University College Dublin from 29 August – 2 September 2022.
The Einstein Toolkit is a community-driven Open Source software platform of core computational tools to advance and support research in relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics, including Numerical Relativity, studies of Neutron stars and Magnetohydrodynamics.
The first two days of the meeting will include lectures and tutorials geared towards new users of the toolkit. The following three days will focus on the status and future development of the toolkit, including scientific talks as well as dedicated discussion sessions. Participants interested in giving a scientific talk are welcome to submit an abstract during registration. Lectures, tutorials and talks will be presented in-person and broadcasted via Zoom for those who are unable to attend physically.
As part of the meeting there will be a public talk “Exploring the Universe with Gravitational Waves” given by Prof. Alicia Sintes.
25th Capra Meeting on Radiation Reaction in General Relativity
The 25th Capra Meeting on Radiation Reaction in General Relativity was held at University College Dublin, Ireland from 20th – 24th June 2022. The five days were filled with contributed talks and extensive discussion sessions. The conference was held primarily as an in-person event with live remote participation via Zoom.

Dublin School on Gravitational Wave Source Modelling
The Dublin School on Gravitational Wave Source Modelling aims to teach the next generation of gravitational wave researchers the skills they will need for interpreting gravitational wave signals detected by the LISA mission. Further aims are to cover a broad range of topics in gravitational physics, to give newly arrived and early career researchers a chance to interact with each other, and to meet the leaders in their field.
The summer school will be hosted by the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University College Dublin. It will run from 11th to 22nd June 2018, and will consist of ten days of lectures and hands-on workshops, with a weekend off in the middle to explore Dublin and engage in social activities.
There is no registration fee and anyone can participate. However, please do register so that we can ensure that ample space is available for all participants. Participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs. A limited number of affordable rooms in campus accommodation have been reserved on a first-come first-served basis. There may also be limited student bursaries; if available, these will be announced at a later date.
The summer school is supported by the GWverse COST Action. Students from COST member nations are particularly encouraged to attend.
