Why an inverted
CSC? |
Because we noted that at regular CSCs, the sum
of the knowledge of the students often exceeds that
of the lecturer teaching at that time, and that it is not
infrequent to find someone in the room who knows more
than the lecturer on a particular aspect. Why not to try and
exploit this? This is the idea behind
iCSC,
which was prototyped in 2005. |
|
Who will provide lectures? |
Only
selected CSC2005 students. |
|
When and where? |
6-8 March 2006, at CERN, Building
40 |
|
Who can attend? |
Anyone interested, attendance is fully free |
|
Should I register? |
This is not mandatory if you work on the CERN
site. But it is highly recommended: If you do
register, you will
get a hard-copy of the lecture handouts. This will also
help us for the logistics. |
|
I am not at CERN, may I attend?
|
Yes with pleasure. You
must
register
prior to the event as an
external attendee prior to the event in order to get access to
the CERN site. We will organize access cards for you. |
|
How is the programme
organized? |
The school lasts
two and a half consecutive days. There are
three themes, one
per day, the third one being shorter.. |
|
May I attend only one theme? |
Yes of course, attendance is fully free. |
|
May I attend only a few lectures? |
Yes. Lectures, though forming a consistent series, are generally
structured to be followed rather independently. Some have more
"fundamentals" components, other tackle more in-depth topics.
However, to avoid disturbing classes, we ask you to not enter or
leave the classroom during lectures. There is always at least a
ten-minute break between any two consecutive lectures, so that
participants can easily come in or quit the school between
lectures. |
|
Will there be handouts? |
Yes, a printed version for those who have
registered, and web access for the others. |
|
I am a former CSC2005
student. Anything special
for me?
|
Yes, as a former
CSC2005 student in Saint-Malo, if you
register,
you are welcome to participate in a dinner in Restaurant No. 1
on Monday 6 March at 19.30 hours (to be confirmed) |
|
Where does the programme come from? |
CSC2005 students interested in contributing in
iCSC-2006
made proposals via an
electronic discussion forum. The
regular school track coordinators selected the best / most relevant proposals and proposed to cluster
them into three
themes. Theme coordinators were appointed,
having responsibility to finalize the content of their theme. |
|
Is there a common dominator between themes? |
Yes, the idea is that the lecturers go one step
further than the tuition delivered at CSC2004, focusing on novel ideas and
technologies. Most of what will be taught at iCSC
has rarely or never been taught
at CERN before. |
