The Amaldi Conferences were initiated in 1994 by an international group of scientists involved in the search for gravitational waves in honor of Edoardo Amaldi, the Italian physicist who was one of the founders of the University of Rome Gravitational Wave group. The conferences are now a continuing series sponsored and organized by the Gravitational Wave International Committee (GWIC). GWIC has members from all of the major gravitational wave detector projects around the world. This proposal requests support for travel to the 4th Amaldi Conference to be held in Perth, Western Australia, July 8-13, 2001, for members of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). The Amaldi Conferences are the principal international meetings for the Gravitational Wave community. The latest developments and accomplishments in this rapidly growing scientific field will be reported at this meeting. In addition to this important exchange of ideas and advances in gravitational wave science, US members of the LSC will have an opportunity to discuss research on techniques to improve the sensitivity of LIGO interferometers with their Australian collaborators who are also members of the LSC.

阿马尔迪会议于1994年由一个国际科学家小组发起，该小组参与了对引力波的研究，以荣誉意大利物理学家Edoardo Amaldi，他是罗马大学引力波小组的创始人之一。 这些会议现在是由引力波国际委员会（GWIC）赞助和组织的连续系列会议。 GWIC的成员来自世界各地所有主要的引力波探测器项目。 该提案要求支持LIGO科学合作组织（LSC）成员参加将于2001年7月8日至13日在西澳大利亚州的珀斯举行的第四届Amaldi会议。 阿马尔迪会议是引力波社区的主要国际会议。 这次会议将报告这一迅速发展的科学领域的最新发展和成就。 除了这一重要的思想交流和引力波科学的进展外，LSC的美国成员将有机会与他们的澳大利亚合作者讨论提高LIGO干涉仪灵敏度的技术研究，他们也是LSC的成员。
