I gave a wrong time this morning for the exam.
Consistently with the schedule, the exam will start at 17:00 for Group 1 (and not 16:30) and at 18:00 for Group 2 (and not 17:30).
Sorry for the confusion, it may be time for me to rest a bit :-).

Yellow team defeats Grey Team in the 2012 Official Football match.
However, the score does not fairly represent the match. The Grey Team was to score multiple times, in particular his female forward players, and it only by bad luck and the exploits of the yellow goalkeepers that they did not.
Congratulations to all and special congrats to our 4 female players: Petya Petrova, Mariana Bustamante, Marilena Bandieramonte, Claudia Lazzaro.

players and

Aug
The mentors will emphasize the following two messages:
- You will have 10 minutes maximum (8 for the presentations and 2 for the questions). This is extremely short and you should focuss on the essential message you wish to pass.
- We are at the CSC: you should not talk about
yourself or about what you do at CERN or
elsewhere, but about the knowledge you have
acquired (via your current work or not).
As an example, you should not describe how technique x is implemented at CERN, but what this technique is, how different it is from others, its positioning, merits, limitations, ... A short reference to CERN is not exlcuded, but only if it really helps understanding one aspect of the technology or concept you are presenting.

Note 2: No bus to the hotel after tennis for the 4 of you who are not playing football. They may go to the football or return on their own to the hotel

We are pleased to announce that all 10 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.
Beware: as all proposals are selected, the number of presentations will be unusually high. They will be strictly limited to 10 minutes.
Almost all proposals have a
content which is most likely to exceed 10 minutes. You are
therefore invited to reflect on the essential points you would
like to make, and to discuss it with your mentor (not all are
defined at this point in time; some will act at a distance).
