The Speaker Karsten Danzmann and the Deputy Speaker Bernard Schutz of the IMPRS on Gravitational Wave Astronomy (IMORS-GW) ( 2006-2023) created “IMPRS Lecture Weeks”, introduced in 2008. This started as a week of block lectures in general relativity, data analysis or numerical relativity (alternating), and experimental gravitational wave physics (with changing topics), taking place in a seminar hotel in the surroundings of Hannover or Berlin.
