This year’s Onassis lectures were dedicated to a broad review of the new field “Gravitational-wave science” and its prospects for the future. The individual presentations contained theoretical and experimental reviews of the field, with particular emphasis on future plans, challenges and opportunities.

Together with Ole Kiehl (President elect) and Aniko Korosi (treasurer elect), Dr. Panayiota Poirazi, a Research Director at IMBB-FORTH, will be responsible for the management and administration of FENS as its Secretary General.

The goal is to deepen cooperation and systematically support the commercial and business exploitation of research results and scientific knowledge.
