International Graduate School of THz Sensing and Communication
We’re delighted to invite you to the 2026 IGS Summer School on THz on July 1-2, 2026 in Wachtberg!
As part of the IGS, an annual summer school takes place over several days, focusing on networking and exchange between doctoral students. In addition to specialist lectures and lab tours, participants can expect networking activities and a career development panel. Cooperation beyond terahertz.NRW, e.g. with external research networks or projects, is also possible during the Summer School.
After the Summer School’s conclusion on the July 2, terahertz.NRW network members are invited to stay for the Project Closing Celebration and Dinner.
