About the project
The Global Component Separation Network currently spans six countries, four continents and four state-of-the-art cosmological experiments.
Objectives
The project aims to optimally exploit educational and scientific synergies between COMAP, LiteBIRD, PASIPHAE and SPIDER, and build a long-lasting academic network between top international educational and research institutions in Canada, India, Japan, Norway, South Africa and USA.
Planned activities
- A yearly intensive course on component separation to be held in Oslo, open for Master and PhD students. PhD students from other universities can also attend, but must apply for status as a visiting PhD candidate.
