The Virgo Collaboration and the CNRS/INFN EGO Consortium have set-up a Forum where participating astrophysicists and theorists would contribute to the further development of scientific knowledge around the Virgo gravitational-wave detector. 

 

It is the purpose of the Virgo–EGO Scientific Forum (VESF) to enlarge the research community around the present Virgo collaboration by providing individual participants and institutions interested with scientific opportunities of stimulating research, publications, and all other scientific activities. 

The VESF includes the members of the Virgo Collaboration and all the scientists interested in gravitational wave research from other laboratories and institutions. Click here to see all the groups (including EGRG) that so far are VESF Council members.

The VESF scope, functions and organization are detailed in its Charter. As foreseen in the Charter, the VESF governing body is its Council. The Council nominates the VESF Coordinator and the members of the Executive Board.
