PhD International School on Technologies in Gravitational Waves Detection (STGWD)

Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, Sicily (Italy)
The scientific program includes a theoretical introduction to the fundamental principles of gravitational wave detection, along with lectures and practical sessions dedicated to the main features of ground-based and space-based interferometric detectors, paying particular attention to the following fields: GW theoretical aspects and principia; future GW Observatories; technologies aspects (interferometry, optics, controls, noise mitigation); Data Analysis.

The school STGWD26 is designed primarily for PhD students, recent MSc graduates, final‑year MSc candidates, and early‑career researchers, while remaining open to anyone eager to deepen their expertise.

STGWD26 aims to foster scientific exchange through dedicated time for discussions, hands‑on activities, and poster sessions. The event offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen connections within the GW community and to expand networks with fellow young researchers as well as established experts.

Lectures will be delivered by internationally renowned experts, including: G. Cella, G. Gemme, H. Lueck, B. Weber, A. Perreca, P. Chessa, M. Magnozzi, G. Warren, M. Galimberti, L. Conti, I. Nardecchia, L. Sala, F. Sorrentino, F. Pannarale, R. Buscicchio, E. Majorana, R. De Rosa, B. Patricelli.
