Open Questions and Research Tools in Nuclear Astrophysics: A Combined Summer School and Hackathon Event

The school is a week-long event for students and postdoctoral researchers, combining elements of a traditional summer school with a hackathon. The primary goal of this summer school is to attract early career researchers (ECR) to the field of nuclear astrophysics, fostering a space for multidisciplinary collaboration within the IReNA network. The event will include a series of lectures introducing participants to a few of the major open questions in our field. The hackathon section will be organized as a competitive event where students work on group projects using advanced computational tools. Its goal is to use an inquiry-based learning method to train ECRs on modern nuclear astrophysics research tools and to enhance their professional development, in particular with skills to work in interdisciplinary teams.
