Dear Colleagues,
we gladly announce the 2026 edition of the International PhD School on: “Theoretical Aspects of Astroparticle Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation” to be held at the Galileo Galilei Institute of Theoretical Physics (GGI, Florence, Italy) from 2 to 13 March, 2026.
Details can be found at the page: https://agenda.infn.it/event/48713/
Applications can be submitted through the GGI web page (deadline: December 20, 2025: https://www.ggi.infn.it/showevent.pl?id=553
A limited number of selected PhD students will be admitted.
The School aims at providing robust and detailed introductions on the basic theoretical concepts and main tools to work in the field of Astroparticle Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation. The courses are organized as lectures at the blackboard in the morning and are integrated with hands-on and discussion sessions with an instructor in the afternoon.
The program of the 2026 edition comprises the following four courses:
– Elena Pinetti (Flatiron Institute/Simons Foundation): Multi-messenger searches for dark matter
– Davide Gerosa (Milano Bicocca): Gravitational waves from compact binaries
– Elena Amato (INAF Arcetri): Cosmic Particles
– Lavinia Heisenberg (Heidelberg University): Gravity and theoretical cosmology
The School will profit of the Galileo Galilei Institute facilities. Each student will have office space to study and discuss, with a lot of opportunities to interact with lecturers. Practical information on accommodation, support and meals can be found at the School webpage.
