N. Bartolo, G. Ciani, P. Mastrolia, S. Matarrese, M. Peloso 100 years after their prediction, Gravitational Waves have been observed by the LIGO/ VIRGO consortium. This opened a new window on our universe, with profound implications for astrophysics, cosmology, and tests of general relativity. This meeting brings together local and international researchers working in this field.
