Summer School on String Theory and
Summer School on Gravitational Waves
On the theory and phenomenology tracks of PSI, we are organizing two schools in parallel—one on String Theory and the other on Gravitational Waves. The schools will take place at the end of July and the beginning of August. Information on dates, participation fees, and lecturers will be provided, and applications will open in winter 2025.
The aim: The schools aim to provide intensive and thorough courses on a broad range of topics in the fields of string theory and gravitational waves. The schools will not be limited to lectures but will also include daily discussion sessions, problem-solving, and independent work.
For whom: The schools are intended primarily for early graduate (MSc/junior PhD) students, although we will also consider motivated applications from senior undergraduates as well as more senior PhD students. Lectures will be given in English, and we welcome students from all around the world. In particular, we will provide a reduction in the participation fee for a number of regional students (Balkans/Southeast Europe), depending on budget constraints.
By whom: Lectures will be given by postdocs and senior researchers, while problem-solving sessions and project work will be tutored by senior PhD students. The lecturers will come from various European and US institutions.
