# Virgo-PL

 Acronym:Virgo-PLDuration:1.10.2023 – 31.12.2026Aim: The purpose of the project is the participation of the institutions building the Polish Virgo Project Consortium in the use and expansion of the Virgo gravitational wave detector, which is part of the global network of gravitational wave detectors in Europe (Virgo, GEO600), the USA (LIGO) and Japan (KAGRA). The project consists of seven tasks that implement an agreement between the Polish Consortium and the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) to contribute to the Virgo research infrastructure. These tasks concern contributions to improving the sensitivity of the Virgo detector, characterizing noise in the Virgo detector, contributing to the International Gravitational-Wave Observatory Network (IGWN) computational network and analyzing data from the global network of gravitational wave detectors, and popularizing the Virgo project results. ACC Cyfronet AGH is mainly responsible for computational support for the Virgo gravitational wave detector and integration with the International Gravitational-Wave Observatory Network computational network.
