Multimessenger astronomy has transformed our understanding of the dynamic Universe by combining information carried by different cosmic messengers—gravitational waves, neutrinos, and electromagnetic radiation. Transient events such as compact-object mergers, core-collapse supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and flaring active galactic nuclei provide unique laboratories where these messengers are produced simultaneously, offering complementary and often unprecedented insights into extreme astrophysical processes.
This one-day workshop on Multimessenger Astronomy and Transient Events is designed for advanced undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students who seek a coherent and accessible introduction to this rapidly evolving field. The workshop adopts an intermediate level, balancing fundamental concepts with exposure to current research, and combines lectures with guided tutorial sessions to strengthen conceptual understanding and practical intuition.
The scientific focus is placed on the synergy between gravitational-wave observations, high-energy neutrino astronomy, and transient astrophysical phenomena. Participants will explore how multimessenger detections are made, how alerts are interpreted, and how joint observations enhance our understanding of cosmic sources. Emphasis is placed on the physical mechanisms behind messenger production, detection principles, and the scientific implications of coincident observations.
Beyond introducing key discoveries and ongoing experiments, the workshop aims to build foundational knowledge and research readiness. By highlighting open questions, methodological challenges, and emerging opportunities, the program is intended to prepare participants for future research projects and graduate-level work in astrophysics, cosmology, and astroparticle physics.
This workshop also provides a platform for interdisciplinary engagement, bringing together students with interests in theory, observation, and data analysis, and offering a clear perspective on how multimessenger astronomy is shaping the future of transient astrophysics.
