Our workshop initiative is built around mentorship and community-building at a pivotal moment of rapid progress in multimessenger astronomy. Based at Arizona State University—one of the largest and most connected institutions in the U.S.—we aim to cultivate a new generation of researchers fluent across traditionally separate subfields. Bringing together postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and collaborators from across Arizona, we are hosting a focused 2 day workshop that convenes experts and early-career scientists from ASU, the University of Arizona and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and beyond. These gatherings will create space for junior researchers to present their work, build networks, and engage directly with leading scientists, while fostering stronger collaboration across the state. By leveraging ASU’s central location and existing partnerships, the program seeks to unify and amplify Arizona’s distributed expertise in multimessenger astrophysics.
Participation is by invitation only.
