In recent years, Astrophysics has been undergoing a true revolution driven by access to data from new messengers such as gravitational waves and astrophysical neutrinos.
In order to present the theme to the most extended as possible regions of Brazil and the world, the conference is jointly efford between local universities and international ones, including: the Department of Physics and Astronomy “E. Majorana” of the University of Catania, the Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL), the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA), Sao Paulo State university (UNESP) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN).
This meeting aims to bring together experts in theory, observation, and experiments studying multimessenger phenomena to review the current status and discuss on the matter.
The event targets undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in the topic, presenting an introductory course on gravitational wave astrophysics in the afternoon as well as lectures on the state of the art in the area. Mornings will be reserved for seminars from experts in the field and a poster session is planned for young researches to present their contributions.
Two extra sessions focused on scientific dissemination to the general public are planed: a chit chat in a local pub and a seminar with sky observation at on of the most iconic places of the city.
