The major agreements on this day are the development and operation of joint programs for the development of gravitational wave convergence projects, the sharing of facilities and personnel for convergence studies, and the utilization of global exchange and manpower in the gravitational wave field. 

The agreement period is three years, and the institute will play a role in the study of data analysis techniques based on mathematical theory and the analysis of gravitational wave data.
