In order to understand physics, one must understand the structure of spacetime.

This is because both, our most advanced theory of gravity and the description of matter — general relativity and the standard model of elementary particle physics — employ the spacetime structure in a pivotal way.

A group of dedicated lecturers and distiguished experts in the field will explain the entire mathematical and physical foundations required for a state-of-the-art command of spacetime concepts, and thus take you on a seamless journey from your current knowledge to contemporary research highlights.
