Since the early
eighties CERN IT has organized every year the CERN School of Computing
(CSC), in one of the CERN Member States.
CERN Schools of
Computing, usually held in August/September, are open to postgraduate
students and research workers with a few years of experience in elementary
particle physics, in computing or in related fields.
 The participants
come mainly from the CERN Member States or from laboratories in countries
associated with CERN. However, a fraction of the students come from outside
the particle physics community, generally attracted by the advanced topics
that are taught.
Attendance ranges
from 70 to 80 students, typically of 15 to 20 different nationalities.
The schools last
two weeks, and are generally organized on the campus of a university or in a
hotel with close networking connections to a university or laboratory.
IT Department contribution to
other schools
CERN IT (EDG and EGEE project) contributes to the International
School on Grid Computing, organized by the Global Grid Forum. The
GGF Grid school 2003
took place in Vico Equense Italy.
