===== Overview =====

Lecture Weeks are one of several methods we offer for all of our Early Career Researchers (ECRs). We offer three lecture weeks a year. In addition to three 90 minutes lectures that are offered during the day, ECRs practice team building exercises in the evening.

===== Historical facts =====
**Lecture Week Series Begins:** 
The Lecture Week concept was originated and refined for the International Max Planck Research School on Gravitational Wave Astronomy (IMPRS-GW) by its founding Spokespersons, Prof. Dr. Karsten Danzmann and Prof. Dr. Bernard Schutz. More than 40 Lecture Weeks were organized during its operation from 2006 to 2023.\\ 

**geo-Q Research Training Group Joins:**
The Research Training Group led by Dr. Fumiko Kawazoe, within the framework of the SFB 1128: Relativistic Geodesy and Gravimetry with Quantum Sensors - Modelling, Geo-Metrology and Future Technology (geo-Q), collaborated with the International Max Planck Research School on Gravitational Wave Astronomy (IMPRS-GW) to establish the first joint concept of Lecture Week series in 2015 until geo-Q ended in 2019.\\ 

**QuantumFrontiers International Research School Joins:**
In 2019, the launch of the QuantumFrontiers International Research School under EXC 2123 resulted in the expansion of this collaborative effort. \\ 

**TerraQ Research School Joins:**
The newly funded SFB 1464: Relativistic and quantum-based geodesy (TerraQ) Research Training Group led by Dr. Liliane Biskupek (2021-2024) and Dr. Fumiko Kawazoe (2021-today) continued the joint Lecture Week series, further strengthening the collaboration.\\
