April Fools' Day! This post was an April Fools joke, thank you for having fun with us 🥳 Although we didn't install 300 balloons on Virgo's arms this year we will indeed celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first detection, with many events. Keep following us to find out 😉
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the first detection of a gravitational wave signal, on September 14th 2015, the largest installation of flying balloons ever made was inaugurated today at the European Gravitational Observatory in Cascina 🎈🎈🎈
🏅 Young researchers Mattia Boldrini (@INFN_ -Roma 1) and Enzo Nicolas Tapia San Martín (@_nikhef), pictured left to right, are the winners of the fourth edition of the Virgo Award!
Starting today EGO is hosting the “Data analysis for Multi-messenger Astrophysics” Workshop organized within the context of the @ahead2020 EU project under the aegis of APPEC.

What’s the future of #gravitationalwaves astronomy? Viviana Fafone is presenting Europe’s future gravitational interferometer, #EinsteinTelescope, at #EriceSJ2024.
With great pride last week at EGO we celebrated the first 20 years of Virgo scientific activity, with many extraordinary guests: @NobelPrize laureate @giorgioparisi, @regionetoscana president @EugenioGiani, a message from Italy’s Minister of University and Research @BerniniAM 1/4
Last week at EGO we had the pleasure of hosting the Einstein Telescope BGR (Board of Governmental Representatives), the council of government representatives from all over Europe delegated to discuss the implementation of ET (1/3)
