Dear all,

I would like to advertise the Co-Design Summer School which will take place at Los Alamos, NM next summer, sometimes from mid-May to mid-September 2016 (exact dates TBD).

The Los Alamos ISTI/ASC Co-Design Summer School will bring together top graduate students in the fields of physics, computational science and mathematics. A team of six participants will work together on solving a problem that is designed to build the skills needed to tackle the grand challenges of the future. Foremost among the skills on which we focus is the ability of students to work across disciplines with other team members, while employing their own unique expertise. This is the heart of Co-Design.

The scientific challenge of choice for this year is modeling neutron star mergers and their kilonovae -- supernova-like transients that accompany these dramatic cosmic cataclisms.

Please consult the following website for more information about the school, the challenge and how to apply: http://losalamos.github.io/cdss/index.html

Graduate students in the fields of astrophysics, computational code design and mathematics of general relativity are encouraged to apply. Application deadline is February 2016.

Please share with anyone who might be interested. Best regards,

- Oleg Korobkin
