Content
Programme and Scientific Content
Day 1: Introduction to gravitational wave astrophysics and course outline -- introduction of lecturers and participants -- Reception.
Day 2: Theoretical background on gravitational waves in General Relativity (production, propagation, and etc...) -- Exercise Session 1.
Day 3: Detection methods, interferometric and other, overview of existing instruments: LIGO, LISA, PTAs -- Exercise Session 2 -- School Dinner.
Day 4: Astrophysical Populations I: High frequency sources -- Overview of existing observations, astrophysical formation channels + multi-messenger opportunities -- Exercise Session 3
Day 5: Astrophysical Populations II: Low frequency sources -- Overview of existing observations, astrophysical formation channels + multi-messenger opportunities -- Exercise Session 4

Organizational aspects:
- The course is organized jointly with the Niels Bohr International Academy, which in addition will provide infrastructure in the form of office space, coffee breaks, and discussion rooms. The lectures will take place at Auditorium A, in Blegdamsvej 17.
- On each day, there will be coffee before the morning lectures and after the afternoon lectures. This will provide extra opportunity for instructors and students to interact.
- A social dinner for all participants will be organized during the course of the school.
