After 100 years from the formulation of the theory of general relativity by Albert Einstein, gravitational waves have been finally observed on September 14, 2015 as a transient signal by the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO. In this mini-workshop the results by LIGO and VIRGO collaborations will be presented, together with a historical review of gravitational wave detectors. Future implications of gravitational wave observation in astrophysics will be also discussed.
