For th e occasion\, it will also be extended to 4 weeks. It will be held in Engli sh.\n\nGoals of the school\nThe school will cover the emerging field of gr avitational wave detection and of its scientific exploitation. Following t heir discovery by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration\, many other gravitational wave detections are expected at the existing and future gravitational ante nnas. 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 sc hool is to provide the students with a solid introduction to most aspects of this interdisciplinary field in accelerated expansion :-)\nThe school i s open in priority to Master and PhD students\, and also to young or not s o young scientists who would like to get better acquainted with Gravitatio nal Waves. \nFor attendees to fully benefit from the school program\, it is highly recommended that they have had at least an introductory exposure to General Relativity before. We also strongly suggest that prior to atte nding the school\, the participants read some of the references that can b e found here.\nSchool organization\nIn 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 about 70 participants\, not including organiz ers and teachers. If more than 70 people apply to the School\, a selection will be applied based on the criteria outlined on the registration page.\ nThe School has no online attendance option. All participants are expected to attend in-person.\nNo fee is required to attend the School.\nThe Schoo l will provide coffee breaks and lunches to all participants. Dinners\, tr avel and accommodation expenses are not covered.\nHowever\, accommodation free of charge will be provided by the CROUS at Valrose Campus for up to 5 0 master and PhD students who request it in the registration form. For mor e information about this opportunity and the selection\, please see the a ccommodation section on this webpage.\nMoreover\, since the school is labe lled by CNRS as "Ecole Thématique"\, the expenses to attend the school fo r CNRS employees (staff CNRS people and people with a CNRS term contract [ PhD student\, Postdoc\,...]) will also be covered. Please do not forget to mention in the registration form if that case applies to you!\nPoster ses sions\nPosters sessions will be organized during the school so that the at tendees can display posters describing their research work and results and discuss them with the other school participants.\nApply to the school\nTo apply\, please go to the Registration (Inscription) tab or directly follo w the link herePre-registration will be open from February 20th to April 10th.  The pre-registered candidates will be informed of the result of th e selection process during the first week of May.\n \n\n \n\nhttps://ind ico.in2p3.fr/event/39154/ LOCATION:Ecole de Physique des Houches URL:https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/39154/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
