Description
We are pleased to announce the first edition of the PhD International School on Technologies in Gravitational Waves Detection (STGWD). The event will be held at Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, Sicily (Italy), on May 20th-27th, 2026.
The scientific program includes a theoretical introduction to the fundamental principles of gravitational wave detection, along with lectures and practical sessions dedicated to the main features of ground-based and space-based interferometric detectors, paying particular attention to the following fields:
- GW theoretical aspects and principia
- Future GW Observatories
- Technologies aspects (interferometry, optics, controls, noise mitigation)
- Data Analysis
The school STGWD is designed primarily for PhD students, recent MSc graduates, final‑year MSc candidates, and early‑career researchers, while remaining open to anyone eager to deepen their expertise.
STGWD aims to foster scientific exchange through dedicated time for discussions, hands‑on activities, and poster sessions. The event offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen connections within the GW community and to expand networks with fellow young researchers as well as established experts.
Registration will be open from 19/01/2026 to 30/04/2026
Payment information are available in the indico page after the pre-registration phase.
