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.

Breaking News:

Fact and figures for the 2011 Examination.

List of students who succeeded published soon.

It is time to celebrate the work well done!!      Aatos proposals are as follows:
- Leaving together from the Hotel lobby at 22:00
- One of the best ways to do this is visit the  LA Tequila Bar (Gammel M?nt 17) Shots 10,- and beer 20.-,- all night! (bring your passport, age limit is 20 yrs)
- An optional excursion, suitable for those who appreciate more peaceful evening (with a twist) to Norrebro district, which is 2.5km walk from the hotel.
Norrebro is cool area just north from the downtown, a great area to hang around in cafes sipping herbal tea or health juice (a.k.a beer) and sit on terraces, and absorb the neighborhoods ethnic diversity.
- We could start from a vine bar and continue to smart and funny laundromat.
- Then spicy dink at tiny Mexibar and through a Small+Chic Harbo Bar. Then, we could head back to downtown through university campus area where you have a chance to experience more feverish night life.

We are pleased to announce that all 6 proposals have been accepted.  However, the CSC mentor (a school lecturer) has been assigned to each presenter and will discuss the content with them. See details of proposals.

Aatos has cooked up the following proposal for tonight: "Shots, Live Music and Karaoke"
Note: The program is just tentative, we might end up going to somewhere else if we please.

- Leaving together from the Hotel lobby at 21:30
- We start from the Irish Bar just opposite to Hard Rock Caf? -starting 22:00 live music, 10 shots / 100DKK!
- After the encouragement provided by shots, you surely feel like singing at Sams Bar. The first Karaoke Bar in Denmark, founded in 1989. Located at "Str?get", ?stergade 17_19, one of the oldest pedestrian ways in the world , SAMs BAR has a central place in the Nightlife of Copenhagen.

Then who knows? .........How about Bar7 with cool deco (studiestraede 7) or if YOU know a good place let's go there!!!
