Gravitational-Wave International Committee

The Gravitational-Wave International Committee (GWIC) is an organization that promotes cooperation among scientists and institutions involved in the study of gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time caused by massive events like merging black holes or neutron stars. GWIC supports the development of gravitational-wave detectors and encourages research collaboration globally. It aims to share knowledge and best practices among researchers, ensuring that advancements in this field benefit from a collective effort. By fostering international partnerships, GWIC plays a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the universe through the detection and analysis of gravitational waves.
