It is organized within the Erasmus Mundus Doctorate Program. This workshop is sponsored by the EACEA for mobility of students and Professors in Europe.



The IRAP PhD program intends to create conditions for high-level education in Astrophysics mainly in Europe to create a new generation of leading scientists in this field. No single university in Europe today has the expertise required to attain this ambitious goal by itself. For this reason we have identified universities which offers a very large complementarity expertise. Each student admitted to the Ph.D. program will be part of a team inside one of the laboratories of the consortium. Each year they will have the opportunity to visit the other laboratories of the consortium and enlighten themselves with new topics in the forefront research from world leading experts. In this way the students will come in direct contact with some  of the leading scientists in the world working in General Relativity, Relativistic Astrophysics, Cosmology and in Quantum Field Theory.
