Program

We are very pleased to announce the preliminary program below. Lectures will be organized in 2-day themed modules with two or three interacting lecturers. Lectures will take place in the morning (8:30am-12pm) and related Matlab simulation laboratories will take place in the afternoon (1:30-4:30pm). In addition, there will be professional development lectures and an introduction to data / model sharing. There will also be a 2-week long project where attendants in small groups can readily apply the newly acquired computational tools to a research project (e.g. re-analyze data from the data base, build your own models, etc...). Attendants will work on those projects during the late afternoons and evenings and will make use of the data / model sharing initiative.

Social activities

Aside from lectures and laboratory tutorials, there will also be social and professional events. Those will permit the participants to do social networking, discuss potential collaborations, exchange experiences and - most importantly - have informal contact with the lecturers and organizers. These events will include an opening (evening of Aug 3) and closing reception (evening of Aug 16), a weekend outing (Aug 10), as well as daily group breakfasts, lunches and dinners. There will also be organized on-on-one meetings of participants with lecturers of their choice. Details about these activities will be provided in the final program sent to all participants prior to the start of the summer school.
