With the existing and planned large astronomical research infrastructure covering the full electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., XMM-Newton, VLT, ELT, JWST, ALMA, Square Kilometre Array, Cherenkov Telescope Array) the importance of multi-wavelength studies has greatly increased. At the same time, the recent detection of gravitational waves, and their optical counter parts, have really set focus on multi-messenger astrophysics. This is further enhanced by the neutrinos detected from astronomical sources, and the regular use of high energy gamma-rays in astrophysical research. In this school we will cover all the electromagnetic radiation from high energy gamma-rays to radio, and also include neutrino and gravitational wave astrophysics.

This school is aimed at astronomy/physics students who want to learn more about astrophysical observations at other wavebands and messengers. The school is mainly meant for PhD students, but also MSc students and young postdocs are encouraged to apply.

Some of the hands-on exercises require that the accepted partcipants take their own laptop with them. We will provide the accepted participants detailed instructions on how to install the software that is needed in the exercises.
