The inaugural STScI’s JWST Summer School will take place in Baltimore on August 4 to 15, 2025, and focus on High-Redshift Transients with JWST. The first week of the school will focus on high-z transients science, featuring lectures relevant to the field. The second week will focus on observational and analytical techniques and showcase many hands-on exercises. 

STScI welcomes virtual registrations for the first week of the school only, as the nature of the lectures will better accommodate remote participants. The materials for the second week will be available to work on asynchronously. 

The in-person application period is closed; however, early career scientists, new JWST researchers, and researchers new to the field who will not participate in person are welcome to join virtually. Virtual registration is open until June 27th. 

For more information and to register, please visit our event webpage. You can contact the event organizers via email at JWSTSummer2025@stsci.edu if you have questions.
