Dear Bachelor and Master students,
We are excited to announce the forthcoming 3rd international in-person EXPLORE 2024 Summer School (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1402271/overview), which will take place at Goethe University Frankfurt from 18th to 23rd August 2024.
This year’s summer school topic is “Frontiers of Matter and Gravity in the Universe”. Invited talks and lectures will be given by world-renown experts and outstanding early-career researchers in theoretical, numerical and observational astrophysics:
- Prof. Dr. Elisa G. M. Ferreira (Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (KIPMU), University of Tokyo & Universidade de São Paulo; theoretical astrophysics)
- Bipradeep Saha (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata & Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics; numerical astrophysics)
- Prof. Dr. Camilla Hansen (Goethe University Frankfurt; observational astrophysics)
Additionally, there will be research presentations by participants of Goethe University’s new international GREP and International Lab Visits programs.
The summer school social events include:
- Standup paddleboarding on the Main
- A city quest game in Frankfurt
The registration is open until 16th August for all students (Bachelor, Master, PhD), postdocs and other early-career researchers who are interested to learn about and explore hot topics in theoretical and observational astrophysics! Please register here: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1402271/registrations/104686/
There is no registration fee for participating in the summer school activities, including the social events and the summer school dinner. We cannot, however, offer additional financial support for travels and accommodation. The number of participants is limited to 40.
What is EXPLORE? EXPLORE stands for “EXPeriential Learning Opportunity through Research and Exchange“ (https://dmgw.space/EXPLORE). It is an international innovative teaching and research program at Goethe University Frankfurt in collaboration with York University in Toronto, Canada, the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, USA. The idea behind EXPLORE is to build the bridge between learning physics in a classroom and working as a scientist. EXPLORE brings together students from Goethe University Frankfurt with students from the international partner universities. Together they form the world’s first international undergraduate student collaboration in astroparticle physics!
