EMIT Summer School in Multi-Messenger Astronomy: Apply by 15 March 2025
12 March 2025
The Establishing Multimessenger astronomy Interdisciplinary Training (EMIT) program at Vanderbilt University will host its 2nd summer school 7 – 25 July 2025. This three-week summer school will be held in person at Vanderbilt University and Fisk University, both in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
If you are interested, please complete this Google form no later than 15 March 2025. We have capacity for 15-20 students, with all funding provided for travel, housing, meals, and social activities.
This summer school is unusual in that we will not only cover the fundamentals of electromagnetic, gravitational wave, and particle astrophysics, practical skills such as astrostatistics and data analysis, and professional skills such as building a CV and networking as a nerd, but we are deeply committed to building a healthy new field that is vibrant and welcoming for everyone, so we'll discuss and practice ways to do that throughout the workshop. We culminate with a fun role-playing exercise to find the host galaxy of the first binary black hole merger in LISA, complete with a celebration and press conference!
