The International school of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics (ISCRA) holds biennial courses for graduate students and young researchers that stress the inter-relationships between sub-disciplines in Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology and focus upon recent results from different specialty areas. The 22nd Course: From cosmic particles to gravity waves: now and to come will take place from 28 August 2020 to 5 September 2020 in Erice, Sicily, Italy.
The ISCRA is not a conference or a workshop, but is a School that provides lectures by outstanding scientists who cover the latest results and also the background and steps that lead to them. Everyone is encouraged to question the experts both during the lectures and informally over relaxing meals so that one often finds beginners dining with experts in an ambiance of friendship and science that otherwise might never happen. Discussions naturally happen — sometimes a seemingly simple question may pause the expert and in the by and by lead to new research. Additionally many attendees have developed their careers following contacts made at the School.
Graduate students and postdoctoral scientists (experiment & theory) are encouraged to register as soon as possible on this INDICO page as numbers are constrained by the Centre; late applicants may be disappointed.
The final workshop of the SENSE project is planned as an open meeting to present the final SENSE Roadmap and the recommended strategy towards developing the ultimate low light-level photosensors. Some other elements of SENSE will be also introduced and discussed how they can sustain after SENSE. The meeting will take place on July 9th, 2019 at the campus of the ALBA Synchrotron outside Barcelona, Spain. A dinner with discussion will be held the previous night, July 8th.
This first Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Seminar (JENAS) jointly organized by LAL, IPNO, IRFU and LPNHE will be held from October 14 to October 16, 2019 in Orsay.
Profound explorations of both the smallest and largest structures in the universe made possible numerous breakthroughs in astroparticle, nuclear and particle physics. Additional to the well-known scientific interplay between our disciplines, the strength to transform challenges into opportunities in the pursuit of our aspirations is driven by our innovations in technology, scientific creativity and organisational rigour, while typically embracing the long-term nature of our research.
A first triennial 3-day Joint Seminar is being organised by the European representative committees/consortia, APPEC for astroparticle physics, ECFA for particle physics and NuPECC for nuclear physics. Facilitated by the local organisers in the Paris region, the intention is to inform the communities about each other’s scientific, technological and organisational challenges and successes, as well as to identify and explore potential synergies and avenues for collaboration across communities. Additional to the physics highlights and the evolution of theoretical research, also topics related to for example detector R&D, technology, software and computing, valorisation, outreach, education will be scheduled in plenary talks.
From 1 June 2019 the community at large will be invited to register, and the remaining seats will be allocated on a first come basis.

From 2nd to 10th October 2019 ECAP organises the 16th edition of the international School for Astroparticle Physics for PhD students in Obertrubach Bärnfels, close to Erlangen, Germany. The school will be held in english and is open for international participation.
The program covers topics from astrophysics to particle physics and cosmology. Lectures are given by key scientists in the field, as for example, Karl-Heinz Kampert (cosmic rays), Imre Bartos (astrophysics with gravitational wave observations), Jacco Vink (particle acceleration and magnetic fields in cosmic shocks) and Bela Mojorovits (light dark matter). The school combines education, discussion and contributions by the participants. The participation fee of 280 Euro covers accommodation and meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee breaks).
The Dawn V meeting to assess and develop world-wide coordination for the next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave observatories will be held at the Virgo/EGO Observatory from 26-27 May 2019 in Cascina, Italy. It follows the GWADW meeting in Elba, Italy, and the PAX VI meeting (starting immediately after Dawn, in Cascina)
With the observation of the first gravitational-wave event from a binary neutron star, GW170817, during Advanced LIGO and Virgo’s second observation run, multimessenger astronomy with gravitational waves has started. The current generation of gravitational-wave detectors now serves a wide community including fundamental physics, astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology and nuclear physics. The observations to date and their widespread impact on science make the argument for future facilities quite compelling.
The one and one-half day program of this meeting will have a focus on the recently completed Gravitational-Wave International Committee study of third generation detectors (3G), and seeking the next significant steps for the community to realize the future network. Of particular interest is the proper coordination between the European effort proposing to build an observatory detailed by the ‘Einstein Telescope’ design study, and the U.S. proposal of a similar class observatory, named ‘Cosmic Explorer’.
We are happy to announce the SENSE Detector School at the Ringberg Castle in Kreuth am Tegernsee in Bavaria, Germany, from 19 – 22 June 2019. The 2.5 days mini-school for PhD and master students aims to inform about the forefront developments on low light-level detectors.
The speciality of the school is the small group of students with a continuous possibility to discuss with the teachers.
The participation of 25 students is sponsored by SENSE. You can apply for the school until 3 May 2019 with a letter of motivation. The nomination of participants will be announced on 10 May 2019. We aim to achieve a balanced mix of working topics as well as gender and nationalities.If required, childcare can also be organised.
As soon as the timetable has been finalised, a decision will be made on a possible contribution from the students.
The 36th ICRC will be held in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin, USA from July 24th – August 1st.
The International Cosmic Ray Conference, or ICRC, is a physics conference organized biennially by the Commission C4 (Astroparticle Physics) of the International Union of Pure and Applied Sciences (IUPAP) since 1947, where physicists from the world present the results of their research in Astroparticle Physics. The meeting covers cosmic-ray physics, neutrino physics, gamma-ray astonomy, dark matter, particle astrophysics, and detector techniques in these fields.
The GWADW2019 – From Advanced Interferometers to Third Generation Observatories – will take place from 19-25 May 2019 at Hotel Hermitage, La Biodola, Isola d’Elba.
After the detection of a Binary Neutron Star (BNS) merger, following earlier Binary Black Hole (BBH) merger detections, Gravitational Wave Detection Astronomy is now entering a new phase with a year long observational period beginning early 2019. Multimessenger Astronomy is coming with new questions that can be only partially answered with present instruments, even taken to their limit performance.
In the medium term Gravitational wave astronomy is calling for third generation observatories, surveying with high statistics source populations while recording also fainter, remote or low rate sources. The design of third generation observatories is entering a detailed phase while the construction of the best possible instruments in the current sites is starting. All this requires detailed studies and experimentation to master the difficult challenges being faced, learning from present instruments and exploring new frontiers.
This workshop is the main place where new ideas as well as research and development for future gravitational wave detectors are discussed, covering all instrumental aspects of gravitational wave detection.
The 22nd International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation and the 13th Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves will take place from July 7-12, 2019 in Valencia, Spain.
