  • We know that not much time is left, but it was necessary to wait that the last lecturer has given her class before opening the questionnaire.
  • Try and exploit spare time to fill it out.
  • Note that the exercise room will be definitely closed at 12:30 and no computer access will possible from these computers.
47 1 Sep Prizes Prizes and distinctions awarding for the social activities (photo contest, sport) will take place during the dinner cruise tonight.
46 1 Sep Pictures
Please note that posting to the photo-gallery will be interrupted today, Friday 1st, at 10:00 for a couple of hours (possibly less). We need to transfer the Gallery form he local server to the school server. The posting service will then re-open on the CERN server but uploading from Helsinki to CERN will traverse Europe and may take more time.

We nevertheless invite you to keep posting even after the school: important to keep memory of key moments.

This does not affect the viewing.
