Summer Einstein Toolkit Workshop 2013

We need to prepare a flyer similar to the one used for the last spring workshop, which can be printed or otherwise distributed.

Announcement

The Einstein Toolkit (http://einsteintoolkit.org) will host its summer workshop 2013 on the last day of the Caltech Gravitational Wave Astrophysics School (July 26th).

This workshop is targeted at new and potential new users of the relativity infrastructure. It will provide a general introductions into numerical relativity (although some previous knowledge would be beneficial) and in code development within large collaborations. Hands-on sessions will help to familiarize attendees with the Einstein Toolkit. Participants are asked to bring their own laptops. We would like to invite especially students from physics and computer science to participate.

The number of attendees is limited, and while registration is free, it is required.

In order to register, write an email to workshop@einsteintoolkit.org, specify:

  • your name, affiliation and title
  • your estimated arrival and departure time/date
  • whether you apply for support (and if so, state if you are undergraduate / graduate student / postdoc)
  • your special needs

Detailed workshop information can be found at https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/ET_Workshop_Summer_2013.

The Einstein Toolkit Consortium.
