Galician Gravitational Wave Week (G2W2)

14 Jan 2019, 09:00 → 18 Jan 2019, 14:00 Europe/Madrid

Sala de Xuntas (IGFAE)

These series of lectures are intended as an introduction to gravitational waves (fundamentals, origins and detection) aimed to doctoral students, and postdoctoral and senior researchers. There is no registration fee but the maximum number of participants is limited to 30. These lectures can be taken by the PhD. students of the Doctoral Program on Particle and Nuclear Physics at the USC as academic complements.
