Presentation of the Summer School

The Summer School sessions are aimed primarily towards advanced students and young postdoctoral researchers, willing to deepen their knowledge or to start in a new field.

The sessions last from 4 to 5 weeks and the courses are long (up to 12 hours of lectures for a given subject). This allows a thorough pedagogical approach, up to the frontiers of modern research, and to cover all aspects of a given subject. This long duration also favors exchanges, discussions and working groups between participants.

The summer school programs are selected by the Board about two years in advance. If you have suggestions, or if you are interested in organizing a session, contact the Director of the Summer School:

Jean Dalibard
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel

Ecole Normale Supérieure
24 rue Lhomond
75231 Paris Cedex 5, FRANCE

Informations and Applications:

To apply, download the forms from the page of the corresponding session. A commitee (scientific directors of the session and direction of the School) will select the candidates.

The fees include full housing and meals at the School. Participants will get a free Lecture Notes Book. The School provides some grants, which may cover part or all the living expenses, and possibly part of the travel expenses. The total number of grants and their amounts depend on the funding of the session. Applications for grants must be sent in advance to the School.

Documents for authors

Elsevier LaTeX macros: bookstyle.sty
example.tex
template.tex

Download these files in the same directory. Have a look at "example.tex" if you are not so familiar with LaTeX. If you are used to LaTeX, just type your lecture notes in "template.tex".

Please note that there is no significant editing of the manuscripts by Elsevier, and that no proofs are sent to the authors. Therefore the authors are kindly asked to provide a "camera-ready" manuscript using the macros given above, with the tables and figures properly positioned.
