This course is primarily targeted at Ph.D. and advanced M.Sc. students, but can also be valuable to young postdoctoral researchers who would like to start exploring the field. The "Saas-Fee Advanced Course" has taken place annually since 1971 and in 2022 it will be devoted to "Compact-Object Astrophysics in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy".

Formal lectures in the morning will be followed by interactive hands-on sessions in the evenings, where the participants will have the opportunity to get their hands on observational and simulation data and explore theoretical concepts with order-of-magnitude calculations. A several-hour-long afternoon break is scheduled, when the participants are encouraged to do winter sports or simply interact with each other.
