| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | ~30 students attended the summer school in Copenhagen from July 2nd-6th to discuss recent advances in the field of multi-messenger astronomy. Topics focussed on the theory side of physics which pertains to the production of radiation from events such as neutron star mergers. The event brought together a number of students from different institutes for the purpose of education and networking. |
