2nd International Lecture Week on Gravitational Waves - Bridging Engineering and Physics

Europe/Rome
Dormio Resort Eifeler Tor

Heimbach, Germany
Description

The SFB 1464 TerraQ (Germany) and the EXC 2123 QuantumFrontiers (Germany) at Leibniz Universität Hannover, the RWTH Aachen University (Germany) and the University of Maastricht (The Netherlands) are collaborating on an International Lecture Week on Gravitational Waves.

The target of this event is to bring together early-career scientists from engineering and physics to expand their knowledge of gravitational wave physics, astronomy, and related fields. The program features lectures on foundational theories and experimental aspects, guiding participants through the fascinating realm of gravitational wave astronomy. Lectures are introduced each day, along with numerous dedicated sessions for early-career scientists to engage in discussions and networking activities with peers.

Participants will also actively contribute by giving brief presentations aimed at peers from a broad range of scientific disciplines, enhancing their science communication skills.

With the support of organized social events, the Ressort Eifeler Tor provides an ideal setting for fostering creative scientific discussions and promoting a harmonious environment where scientists from diverse disciplines can effectively collaborate and interact.

Organised by

Dr. Fumiko Kawazoe / Silke Christ
