Description

With the aim to detect gravitational waves, in the last 15 years a few large interferometers have been constructed and were operating in various Continents. This first generation has demostrated the validity of the fundamental ideas and stimulated the study for the up-grade to higher sensitivity instruments, at present under construction. The purpose of the talk is to show which level of cooperation is existing in the World wide GW community, to achieve jointly the ambitous scientific result.
