Sport at CSC2008

What are the objectives of the sport programme?

  • The participation to sport activities is fully voluntary (as is the participation  to other social activities)

  • The aim is to provide opportunities for refreshing activities in particular before the final afternoon working sessions (as an alternative to the free study hours)

  • It also provides additional opportunities for interactions between students and lecturers / organizers
