9th School on Astrophysics and Gravitation
The Centre for Astrophysics and Gravitation (CENTRA) is organizing the 9th edition of its Summer School on Astrphysics and Gravitation. This year the school is officially open to international applications and the official language of the classes is English. This school takes place every two years and its mains objective it to incentivate young talents in the pursue of knowledge in the areas of Astrophysics and Gravitation. This summer school is mainly aimed at university level students of Physics, Mathematics and Engineerings (STEMs).
The main selection criterium is the course average grade, and priority will be given to students that desire to continiue their studies in theses areas of research. The applicant should mention its interest in these areas in the section "General Comments" of the application form.
