Summer School: From the Interstellar Medium to the Formation of Stars: Physics, Tools and Methods

Summer school
July 1, 2026 - July 31, 2026
Stars are the building blocks of our Universe. They synthetise all heavy elements, heat and energize their surrounding medium and host planets, the cradle of life. Understanding star formation is therefore of fundamental interest in astrophysics. Yet it is an extremely rich multi-scale and multi-physics process which entails several fields of knowledge. The purpose of the school is to provide the newer generation of scientists working in this field with the basic knowledge necessary to carry out research in this field. Students and early postdocs are particularly welcome to register.
This session is organized by:
