DESCRIPTION:In September 2015\, the LIGO gravitational-wave observatory ma
 de the first direct detection of a gravitational-wave signal. This Nobel P
 rize winning achievement marks the dawn of a new era in observational phys
 ics and astronomy offering a vast range of unprecedented opportunities to 
 look at (or listen to) our Universe through a new medium. In this talk we 
 present an overview of the theoretical background of this new type of radi
 ation and the methodology how we can observe them. We also discuss the mos
 t exciting discoveries made with the about 100 gravitational-wave events t
 hat have been detected over the following years and present an outlook on 
 future endeavours of this new rising field of research.
