On April 6, 2021, the Project Implementation Plan Review Meeting & Project Kick-off Meeting was held in Beijing. The projects here refer to the Full-link Dynamic Numerical Simulation of Formation System for Space-based Gravitational Wave Detection, and the Testing and Evaluation Technology of Inertial Sensors with Ultra-high Precision under the key special project (i.e. Detection of Gravitational Waves) under the National Key R&D Program during the 13thFive-Year Plan period.More than 30 people attended the meeting, including leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China and the competent departments of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, experts in the preparation of guidelines, technical experts in the field, and representatives from the research institutions of the projects.

A review group consisting of 16 experts in the industry was set up at the meeting. After review of the implementation plans, the review group unanimously agreed to carry forward the project research according to the project implementation plans, marking the completion of the project approval stage and the official start of project implementation. The Taiji Laboratory for Gravitational Wave Universe (Hangzhou) of HIAS, UCAS & the Key Laboratory of Gravitational Wave Precision Measurement of Zhejiang Province (Cultivation) took the lead in undertaking the Full-Link Modeling Research of Space-based Gravitational Wave Detection Signals, and the Individual Noise Test and Verification under the two projects. Academician Wang Jianyu, President of HIAS, UCAS, and Academician Wu Yueliang, Director of the Taiji Laboratory for Gravitational Wave Universe (Hangzhou), presided over the review meeting as the expert group leaders of the two projects respectively.

The Taiji Laboratory for Gravitational Wave Universe (Hangzhou) of HIAS, UCAS is the core support platform of the Space-Borne Gravitational Wave Detection Program "Taiji", a significant scientific and technological innovation direction with great influence of HIAS, UCAS during the "135" Development Plan period, and a new engine for leading important scientific discoveries and major frontier technology breakthroughs. Relying on the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the laboratory makes full use of the institutional advantages of HIAS, UCAS, to transform the resource advantages of Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou City into scientific and technological competitive advantages, make breakthroughs in core key technologies, and seize opportunities in the global scientific and technological competition, to take the lead or run side by side with other peers. In 2020, the laboratory was listed as the Key Laboratory of Gravitational Wave Precision Measurement of Zhejiang Province (Cultivation) after expert evaluation organized by the Science Technology Department of Zhejiang Province. The overall goal of the laboratory is to build a world-leading research group in the field of gravitational waves, achieve pioneering results in related fields after five ~ ten years of development, lead the research and development in related fields, and build a world-leading gravitational wave experimental platform. Since its establishment in 2020, the laboratory has undertaken a large number of key tasks of space-based gravitational detection. In November 2020, the laboratory, in cooperation with the project organizations, successfully applied for two subject-level and three task-level development tasks under the key special project (i.e. Detection of Gravitational Waves) under the National Key R&D Program during the 13thFive-Year Plan period. In the future, with the strong support of Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou City, as well as HIAS, UCAS, the Taiji Laboratory will orient itself to the frontier technologies in the world, and make every effort to make breakthroughs in the key technologies required for the detection of gravitational waves.
