We
are excited to announce our Summer School on Gravitational Waves, sponsored by the Kavli Foundation and Villum Fonden, that will be hosted at the Corfu Summer Institute this September.
Gravitational
Wave Astrophysics is at the dawn of what will become one of the great scientific endeavours of the 21st century. The Nobel Prize winning first detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration in 2015 has been a revolutionary step forward in
physics and astrophysics by opening a totally new window for the exploration of the Universe.
The
Kavli-Villum
Summer School on Gravitational Waves
(24 Sep - 01 Oct 2023* @ Corfu, Greece)
will
introduce junior scientists (graduate students and advanced undergraduate students with a background in general relativity) to a wide range of topics at the foundation of the new exciting research field of gravitational wave astronomy, from theory and source
modelling to state-of-the-art data analysis methods.
Participants
will have the opportunity to present their results in the form of a poster.
Our
list of lecturers consists of leading experts in gravitational-wave science:
R.
Brito (IST Lisbon)
G.
Carullo (NBI Copenhagen)
K.
Clough (Queen Mary University, London)
W.
Del Pozzo (University of Pisa)
D.
Gerosa (University of Milan)
S.
