The subject of the "International School of Particle Physics and Cosmology" includes those areas of study aimed at the understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe and its dynamics, from the smallest objects, governed by relativistic quantum field theories, to the largest, under the laws of general relativity.

The first edition of the school, this year 2019, is dedicated to the investigation of the universe with a new instrument, the “gravitational waves”. Thus, the title of the present edition is: “New windows to the universe: Gravitational waves and multi-messengers”. The advent of gravitational wave detectors, neutrino telescopes and the latest instruments in electromagnetic channels is increasing dramatically our power to extract information from the Universe at large. In the process, we expect to advance our understanding of fundamental questions, ranging from the structure of the Big Bang to the ultimate fate of the Universe, and the physics of its most extreme objects, such as black holes. The school will provide an up to date view of experiments and theory in this multidisciplinary area of research, and should appeal to students and early researchers interested in particle physics, gravitation, cosmology and astrophysics.

The programme includes morning lectures followed by afternoon practices’ sessions. The profile of the potential interested student is relatively broad; includes graduate students working towards a PhD, master students and latter-year undergraduates.
