Administrative IssuesAll PhD students with a contract or a stipend at the AEI (Hannover and Golm) should fill in a request for business trips (Dienstreiseantrag) - see comment for concrete details - with the cost unit "M.R5.A.QOP10001" and the purpose of travel "IMPRS Lecture Week".All PhD students with a contract or a stipend at the Universität Hannover should fill in a "personnel matters" form of the AEI (Einladungsvorschlag) - see comment for concrete details - with the following information:cost unit: M.R5.A.QOP10001purpose of invitation: IMPRS Lecture Week Short visit: Travel expenses from Hannover to Mardorf, Perdiem: no, Overnight costs: yes, Taxi: noAbout IMPRS Lecture WeeksThe lecture weeks are part of the PhD students' education in Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the AEI. They take place three times per year with courses on general relativity, numerical relativity & theoretical astrophysics, statistics & data analysis, and different topics of experimental gravitational wave physics. The lectures teach experimental topics to the theorists and theoretical topics to the experimentalists and broaden the knowledge in GR for all of them. This way, the PhD students become gravitational wave astronomers knowing all the different aspects of this research field.
