Abstract

The Ligo-Virgo-Kagra International Collaboration engages in numerous outreach activities, both in schools with the Einstein-First Project or Masterclasses, and during public events like festivals with the Big Bang Machine Van, a mobile immersive installation. Online, they contribute to writing new Wikipedia pages and actively participate in communication through social media.
