Abstract

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, scheduled for launch in the mid-2030s, is a gravitational wave observatory in space designed to detect sources emitting in the millihertz band. LISA is an ESA flagship mission, currently entering the Phase B development phase. It is expected to help us improve our understanding about our Universe by measuring gravitational wave sources of different types, with some of the sources being at very high redshifts $z\sim 20$. On the 23rd of February 2022 we organized the 1$^\mathrm{st}$ {\it LISA in Greece Workshop}. This workshop aimed to inform the Greek scientific and tech industry community about the possibilities of participating in LISA science and LISA mission, with the support of the Hellenic Space Center (HSC). In this white paper, we summarize the outcome of the workshop, the most important aspect of it being the inclusion of $15$ Greek researchers to the LISA Consortium, raising our total number to $22$. At the same time, we present a road-map with the future steps and actions of the Greek Gravitational Wave community with respect to the future LISA mission.<br />Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures
