PhD Winter School on Black Holes and Gravitational Waves, January 31st – February 5th, 2027 in Skeikampen, Norway

The Nordic Winter School aims to introduce Ph.D. students, advanced Master’s students and Postdocs to current exciting topics in theoretical physics. This year, the school has a particular focus on black holes, gravitational physics, gravitational wave analysis, and astrophysical GW sources.

The school will feature the following invited guest lecturers:

  • Elias Most (Caltech)
  • Jan Steinhoff (AEI, Potsdam)
  • Tom Callister (Williams College)

The attendance will be limited to 40 participants. Please check the registration page (see website link) for detailed information about the necessary registration materials. We encourage participants from all nationalities and backgrounds to apply. Young post-docs are encouraged to participate as well. Exceptionally talented M.Sc. students can apply too. In case the 40 participant limit is reached, students will be selected on the basis of the potential opportunities that this PhD School could have for their careers.
The Winter Nordic School takes place at the beautiful Thon Hotel Skeikampen, approximately 40 kilometers north of Lillehammer (200 km north of Oslo).
