The summer school will focus on five primary themes of relevance to the LISA mission, with lectures on each theme being given by an expert in that area. In addition to the lectures there will be workshops, which will give students hands-on experience with calculations based on the theory they have learned during the lectures. The full list of lecturers and workshop leaders are given below.
