We have been holding an international school on Numerical Relativity, Gravitational Physics, and Gravitational Waves every year in the past five years, sponsored mainly by the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) in Pohang, Korea. This school is intended to provide in-depth education on the above subjects to graduate students as well as young scholars in East Asian Countries including Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea. There will also be a mini-workshop for about one day at which several presentations on recent progresses in these fields are delivered by participating members, often including invited lecturers as well.
Some of the main topics this year in more detail are binary (NS-NS, NS-BH and BH-BH) merger simulations, GR hydrodynamics and star collapse, gravitational wave detection experiments and gravitational wave data analysis. Most lectures will be pedagogical, subject to being adjusted upon request, but most of the lecturers will also give talks on status summaries of the topics at the end of their lectures.

  • Mini-workshop: Any participants including students can present their research work. Those who are going to present a talk should send the title and a brief abstract to Gungwon Kang (gwkang@kisti.re.kr).
  • Pre-school lecture: A lecture of several hours is planned to introduce the concept of gravitational waves. This lecture will be elementary and is mainly for students. It is to be held in the afternoon one day before the starting date.
  • Schedule: It is planned that the lecture slots on numerical relativity are set on first three days and those on gravitational waves on last three days. However, there will be some mixture due to the available schedule of some of the invited lecturers. The mini-workshop will be held for about one day some time in the middle.
