iCSC 2012

As announced, the Forum for Discussion and Proposals is opening today, 30th of September.

It will stay open for one month and will close until 31st of October 2011.

Do not hesitate to post your ideas, even though they are only sketchy and you are looking for partners. The forum will be moderated and we, lecturers and members of the advisory committee may comment and help ideas converging as proposals are posted.
We remind you that, as the main CSCs, iCSCs are not conferences where you present your achievements, nor training sessions to deliver knowhow, but academic lectures (no exercises however) on a topic you are knowledgeable about, and which is preferably novel or advanced.
To better assess the type of expected lectures, you may visit the iCSC section of the CSC web site and have a look at past years iCSC programmes: 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011.

For those interested to lecture but NOT based at CERN: Make proposals! If you are selected to lecture, a budget is available to cover your travel expenses from your home institute to CERN and up to 3 nights in the CERN hostel.

If we have an iCSC2012, it will take place the 8^th and 9^th of March in the IT amphitheatre.

For ALL those who will be at CERN at the time of iCSC2012: Book your Friday 9^th of March evening! ALL CSC2011 participants (whether they lecture or not a iCSC2012), lecturers and organizers are invited to a diner and a party. This will be another occasion to meet again and have more fun.

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 elementary particle physics, in computing or in related fields. Attendance ranges usually from 60 to 80 students, typically of 15 to 30 different nationalities.
