Multimessenger winter school 2026
We will hold a winter school aimed at fostering young researchers who can work across the boundaries of electromagnetic waves, neutrinos, and gravitational waves, and who are capable of engaging in all types of astronomical observations. The school is primarily intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
Through invited lectures explaining key papers (which will be announced in advance), participants will deepen their understanding of observation and data analysis methods using different wavelengths and particles. We also invite oral presentations from participants.
A welcome party will be held on the first night, a social gathering on the third night, and the afternoon of the third day will be reserved for free discussion time — all to encourage active discussion and exchange among participants.
