We are thrilled to announce the upcoming MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) Summer School 2025.

MESA is an open-source 1D stellar evolution code, developed and maintained by a globally distributed team of researchers. It features a modular and flexible design that facilitates easy interfacing, making it a powerful tool for astrophysical research. With MESA, researchers can explore a wide range of astrophysical phenomena, from stellar structure theory to supernovae, asteroseismology, binary interactions, tides, nucleosynthesis, and more.

Through interactive labs, direct engagement with MESA developers and experienced users, and a collaborative learning environment, attendees will learn how to make the most of MESA for their own research.

📍Leuven, Belgium

⌛️ Monday 21 July – Friday 25 July

Hosted by the Institute of Astronomy @ KU Leuven, this European edition of the summer school brings MESA back to the heart of the continent. Leuven, a historic and dynamic city in Flanders, offers the perfect setting for a week of intensive learning and scientific exchange.
