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.
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.
Program Overview
Dates: August 19 (Mon) – August 30 (Fri), 2025
Location: National Central University, Taiwan
Focus: Optical systems and digital feedback techniques for gravitational-wave detectors
Eligibility: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in gravitational wave research (approximately 8 participants)
Application Deadline: Extended to August 5, 2025
Registration & Details: https://indico.phys.sinica.edu.tw/event/302/
We kindly ask you to share this announcement with students in your institution who may be interested in gravitational wave research. We would be grateful if you could encourage suitable candidates to apply.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
We look forward to welcoming your students to this unique training opportunity.Best regards,
Yuki Inoue
