The school will cover five (5) full days and consist of two (2) sessions each day. The morning sessions, from 8:30 A.M. until 12:30 P.M., will feature lectures on current topics in high-energy astrophysics and data analysis techniques. The afternoon sessions will be, tentatively, from 4:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M., and will allow the students to practice the application of the different analysis techniques using real astrophysical data. The program is listed at the bottom of this page.
Students should arrive on Sunday, July 27, and leave on Saturday, Aug 2. Partial attendance will not be allowed. The attendance will be limited to about 30 students. The selection will be made on the basis of the CV and the description of the student present activities and interests. Depending on the level of funding available, scholarships to cover local expenses will be available. Travel reimbursement is not foreseen.
