Description

Fourth MaNiTou Summer School on Gravitational Waves:
A new window to the Universe

MaNiTou summer school

The school is collaboratively organized by scientific communities involved in Gravitational Waves, from 3 French locations in Southern France, namely Marseille, Nice and Toulouse, thus the MaNiTou name for the school.

The school will take place in Marseille this year, on the Luminy Campus of Aix Marseille Université, in the beautiful Calanques National Park (see here). It will be held in English.

Goals of the school

The school will cover the emerging field of gravitational wave detection and of its scientific exploitation. Following their discovery by the LIGO/Virgo consortia, many other gravitational wave detections are expected at the existing and future gravitational antennas. They will open up a new window of exploration, sometimes unique and sometimes complementary to what other messengers such as electromagnetic radiation (radio, IR, visible, UV, X-rays, gamma rays) and neutrinos can reveal of the physics at work in our Universe. The objective of the school is to provide the students with a solid introduction to most aspects of this interdisciplinary field in accelerated expansion :-)

The school is open in priority to Master and PhD students, and also to young or not so young scientists who would like to get better acquainted with Gravitational Waves. 

For attendees to fully benefit from the school programme, it is highly recommended that they have had at least an introductory exposure to General Relativity before. We also strongly suggest that prior to attending the school, the participants read some of the references that can be found here.

School organization

In order to make the school efficient for the attendees in terms of knowledge transfer and training interaction with the scientists in charge of the different activities of the school, the attendance is limited to 40. No fee is requested to attend the School.

Coffee breaks and Lunches will be covered by the school for all the participants.
Diners and hotel costs will not be covered by the school.

For Master and PhD students who requested it, the cost of your room (for 6 nights, from Sunday to Saturday) and breakfast at CROUS at Luminy Campus will be covered

Apply to the school

To apply, please go to the Registration (Inscription) tab or directly follow the link here
Pre-registration will be open until end of May.
