Gravitational-Wave Early Career Scientists

About GWECS

GWECS is not about creating a GW community of early career scientists today.

It is not even about creating a GW community of tomorrow.

It is about creating a mechanism by which subsequent generations of early career scientists can deal with the needs and challenges of their own times, and by which they are confronted with the responsibility of designing the future of GW research over the effort of the past.

GWECS is nothing but guaranteeing dynamical, ever-changing continuity to a multi-generational endeavour called GW astronomy.

The gravitational wave early career scientists (GWECS) organisation is designed to unite and coordinate different communities of ECSs working on GWs, with the scope of

Becoming a strong and constructive voice for the future GW community,
Addressing the needs of ECSs and foster a healthy professional environment,
Sharing career opportunities and learn valuable professional soft skills,
Ensuring that the international and interdisciplinary GW community shares a common scientific language, builds long-lasting communication channels and exchanges relevant research knowledge and tools for the benefit of its own future.

The GWECS mission consists in organising different actions aimed at advancing towards the goals listed here above, and in representing the GW community of ECSs at large. All GWECS initiatives are organised, managed and coordinated by ECSs on a voluntary basis.
