Fwd: [Call for Participants] CHiP International Gravitational Wave Summer School (August 19–30, 2025)
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the CHiP International Gravitational Wave Summer School will be held again this summer. Following the success of the Winter School held in February 2025, which brought together students from around the world interested in gravitational wave science, we are excited to continue this initiative.
Report on the Winter School https://ncusec.ncu.edu.tw/news/en/headlines_content.php?H_ID=4421
With continued support from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, this 12-day training camp will offer hands-on experience in interferometer control and optical systems — essential techniques for the commissioning of detectors such as KAGRA and LIGO. The event will take place at National Central University (NCU), where participants will have access to a tabletop interferometer and a digital control system synchronized with the latest LIGO software suite. #
