How do I find a good Summer School/Course for theoretical physics PhD

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding summer courses for theoretical physics PhD students, specifically for the years 2012 and 2013. A participant suggests checking the Perimeter Institute, which often lists summer and winter schools alongside conferences. The need for a centralized resource for theoretical physics summer schools is emphasized, as traditional search methods like Google are inefficient for this purpose.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of theoretical physics concepts
  • Familiarity with academic conference structures
  • Knowledge of summer school formats in academia
  • Basic research skills for academic resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Perimeter Institute's website for upcoming summer schools
  • Research academic conference listings for associated summer school announcements
  • Investigate other institutions known for theoretical physics programs
  • Join online forums or groups focused on theoretical physics education
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physics PhD students, academic researchers, and educators seeking summer courses to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field.

Hi,

I am a theoretical physics PhD in Europe and want to find a summer course for 2012 or 2013 (no matter where in the world, the topic is the primary criterion for me). Does anyone know a good starting point for this? The usual google approach is really slow, but I also was not able to find some listings of theoretical physics summer schools.

Thanks for any help in advance!
