Interstellar and intergalactic insights:
exploring the energetic Universe with multi-messengers

The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be.
Carl Sagan

We are excited to announce the upcoming workshop, Interstellar and intergalactic insights: exploring the energetic Universe with multi-messengers, scheduled to take place at NTNU (National Taiwan Normal University, department of physics) on December 19 and 20. Preceding the workshop, there will be two insightful pre-lectures on December 14 and December 15.

The pre-lectures will be given by Prof. Kinwah Wu, who is an excellent lecturer and a Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics at Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London (MSSL, UCL). Particle astrophysics, unlike electromagnetic radiative processes and gravitational wave physics, is not in standard postgraduate curricum in Taiwan, and the pre-workshop lectures aim to fill the gap. We hope the topics covered in the pre-lectures will be beneficial to students and junior researchers who are interested in high-energy astrophysics and astro-particle physics.

Please visit the webpage for registration for the events (pre-lectures and workshop)!

The workshop is hosted by NTNU and NTHU.

Location for the pre-lectures and workshop:

F104, department of Physics, National Taiwan Normal University, Gongguan Campus

Pre-Lecture 1: Dec 14 (Thu) 14:00-16:00
