The school will feature pedagogical lectures on gravitational waves, particle physics, and cosmology, interspersed with conference-style student research talks (preference for talk slots will be given to WITP student members). Other highlights of the event:

• Best talk award (1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize) for student talks!
• Wednesday Aug 21 evening social event (details TBA)
