Programme highlight

 Data Technologies
 present state of the art technologies and options for data storing and management

Base Technologies
addresses the most relevant underlying technologies for  software development security, networking, hardware architecture

Physics Computing
 focuses on the particular challenges the HEP community is facing for the LHC computing

Note: registration is for the entire programme. It is not possible to register for one theme only.

About CSC:

Since the early seventies CERN has organized the CERN Schools of Computing (CSC), usually held in August/September. They last two weeks and are open to postgraduate students and research workers with a few years of experience in particle physics, in computing or in related fields. Attendance ranges usually from 60 to 80 students, typically of 15 to 30 different nationalities.
