Karpacz Winter School of Theoretical Physics and ChETEC-INFRA Training School

This 61st edition of the Karpacz Winter School of Theoretical Physics is jointly organised by the Institute of Theoretical Physics and by the Institute of Astronomy, both of the University of Wroclaw (Poland), the Helmholtz-Centre Dresden-Rossendorf (Germany), the  Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Uppsala (Sweden) and the German Centre for Astrophysics in Görlitz (Germany) 

The school aligns with the forthcoming results of the most recent gravitational-wave (GW) observations, specifically from the O4 run of advanced LIGO-VIRGO and the Japanese KAGRA detector, projected for conclusion by the end of 2024. A profound understanding of the growing amount of data necessitates inter-disciplinary expertise in astrophysics and astronomy, numerical relativity, as well as nuclear and particle physics experiment and theory, which is essential for grasping the physics implications of multi-messenger observations associated with the GW detections. With the focus on compact object mergers and collapsing stars as well as their nuclear astrophysics implications, this school endeavours to enhance and stimulate the information flow and close collaboration between researchers from these different disciplines.
