Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This astroparticle physics graduate school will cover important and timely topics that are connected to gravitational waves, taught by internationally renowned experts. A primary focus of the school will be on understanding how gravitational waves emerge from the theory of general relativity and how these can be detected using modern technologies. Gravitational wave detectors, astrophysical sources, multimessenger astronomy and quantum sensing, are examples of the core topics that will be presented to the students. Lectures will be complemented with hands-on sessions.
