• 5th MaNiTou Summer School on Gravitational Waves, June 29 to July 4, 2026, Nice

    5th MaNiTou Summer School on Gravitational Waves, June 29 to July 4, 2026, Nice The school will cover the emerging field of gravitational wave detection and of its scientific exploitation. Following their discovery by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, 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…

  • The Interplay of Magnetic Fields, Nuclear Physics, and Nucleosynthesis in Neutron-Star Mergers and Supernovae, September 21-25 2026 in Trento

    The Interplay of Magnetic Fields, Nuclear Physics, and Nucleosynthesis in Neutron-Star Mergers and Supernovae, September 21-25 2026 in Trento ECT*-EMMI/GSI workshop . Neutron-star mergers and core-collapse supernovae are among the most promising sites for the synthesis of heavy elements in the universe. These astrophysical phenomena bring together a rich interplay of general relativity, neutrino physics, nuclear reactions, and magneto-hydrodynamics. Among these factors, magnetic fields are increasingly recognized as playing a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics and nucleosynthetic outcomes of these events. Workshop Website

  • EREP 2026, Spanish & Portuguese Relativity Meeting, May 25-29 in Murcia

    EREP 2026, Spanish & Portuguese Relativity Meeting, May 25-29 in Murcia The Spanish-Portuguese Relativity Meetings (EREPs) are a long-standing scientific tradition that began in 1977. Since then, they have served as a key forum for the Portuguese and Spanish communities working in General Relativity and Gravitation, promoting collaboration and the exchange of ideas across a broad range of topics. Organized annually by different research groups from both countries, EREPs have become the most prominent conference on gravitation and relativity in the Iberian Peninsula. Meeting Website

  • High-Energy Astrophysics: Sources and Detection – ISAPP School Paris-Saclay 2026, June 8-19, 2026

    High-Energy Astrophysics: Sources and Detection – ISAPP School Paris-Saclay 2026, June 8-19, 2026 The ISAPP school on „High-Energy Astrophysics: Sources and Detection“ will be held at the Institut Pascal, within the Paris-Saclay University, France. The goal of the school is to offer a general overview on topics in high energy astrophysics related to cosmic rays, from observations to the modelling of high-energy particle sources. It will particularly focus on mult-messenger observations, at the dawn of the CTA era. The school is primarily aimed at PhD students working in this field, as well as young postdocs. School Website
