Conferences on frontier topics have played a central role in the development of Physics for decades. The possible detection of Gravitational Wave Radiation is one of these topics. A series of six Aspen Winter Physics conferences on Gravitational Waves and Their Detection has been very successful in exploring this subject and in galvanizing the community. The Aspen Winter Conference on Gravitational Waves, called the Gravitational Wave Advanced Detector Workshop (GWADW), usually held in January or February, will not take place in Aspen in 2002, but is to be replaced by an analogous conference to be held in Isola d'Elba, Italy, May 19-26, 2002. The conference will return to Aspen in January or February, 2003.The subtitle of the Elba workshop is, "Toward a Global Detection Network". The goal is to discuss the physics coverage that can be achieved considering that, in the near future, there will be interferometers in the US, Europe (in Pisa and Hannover), and in Japan and these can be operated as a combined global array. There is, as well, an array of resonant detectors that can be included. Finally, space based detectors may be included someday. Sensitivity is going to improve thanks to the many ongoing Research and Development programs. This proposal requests travel support for participants in the Elba workshop.

几十年来，前沿主题的会议在物理学的发展中发挥了核心作用。探测引力波辐射的可能性就是其中之一。关于引力波及其探测的一系列六次阿斯彭冬季物理会议在探索这一主题和激励社区方面非常成功。通常在1月或2月举行的阿斯彭冬季引力波会议，称为引力波高级探测器研讨会（GWADW），将不会在2002年的阿斯彭举行，而是由一个类似的会议取代，将于2002年5月19日至26日在意大利的厄尔巴岛举行。会议将于2003年1月或2月在阿斯彭举行。厄尔巴岛研讨会的副标题是“迈向全球探测网络”。考虑到在不久的将来，美国、欧洲（比萨和汉诺威）和日本将有干涉仪，这些干涉仪可以作为一个组合的全球阵列来操作，我们的目标是讨论可以实现的物理覆盖范围。此外，还可以包括一组谐振探测器。最后，太空探测器可能有一天会被包括在内。由于许多正在进行的研究和开发项目，灵敏度将得到提高。本提案要求为参加厄尔巴岛讲习班的与会者提供旅费支助。
