We are pleased to announce the third NewCompStar school, following the 2014 (Barcelona) and the 2015 (Bucharest) editions. The NewCompStar school 2016 will focus on Gravitational Physics, and include some Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics topics.

The school will consist of four 2-lecture courses on more basic general topics, a few lectures on more specific topics and some practical exercise sessions. There will be time for student poster presentations.


The list of topics we aim to cover includes: general relativity, numerical relativity, gravitational waves, neutron star oscillations and instabilities and equation of state.

According to the NewCompStar policy we shall partly cover the travel and accommodation expenses to all eligible participants. In order to apply, students are requested to provide a CV and two recommendation letters not later than June 15th.

Co-organised by CFisUC, University of Coimbra and NewCompstar.
