The First Summer School for Scientific Computation

We are pleased to announce this Summer School.

Introduction

The first Summer School for the MAST-ISC will be held from mid-June to mid-August during the Summer of 2012.

Early registration fees will be $600 per registrant; this will have a deadline of 31 March 2012. After that, and no later than 31 May, the registration fee will be $800 per registrant. After that, up until the opening day of the School, the price goes up to $1,000 per registrant.

Scholarships may be available to those who can demonstrate financial hardship.

This school is tentatively planned to be held at the Unviersity of Wisconsin, Madison, Department of Physics. This is subject to change so please refer back to this page occasionally.
