2005 Aspen Winter Conference on Gravitational Waves
Gravitational Wave Advanced Detectors Workshop (GWADW)

"Building a Viable Global Network; Benefits of Going Underground and Other Next-generation Concepts"

January 16 - 22, 2005

The 2005 Aspen Winter Conference on Gravitational Waves and their Detection will be, as usual, a very interactive Gravitational Wave Advanced Detectors Workshop (GWADW).

In addition to our normal focus, The goal of this workshop is twofold. The possible benefits of building underground detectors will be explored and preliminary plans for their construction will be discussed. As new detectors have come on line, recently, several of them have been running in coincidence. It is now time to discuss, in detail, how to build a viable global network of present and planned detectors.

Each day of the workshop will consist of about six hours of scheduled talks and discussion as well as scheduled workshop interactions. The nature of the housing, with all participants living and dining under the same roof, at the Aspen Meadows, encourages extensive opportunities for informal scientific exchange. In addition, as is the custom at the Aspen Winter conferences, a public lecture will be given on Wednesday, January 19, 2005 at the Wheeler Opera House.
