Tutorials 

 

As part of the MC2000 Conference, we aim to organize tutorials on relevant subjects related to the topics addressed at the meeting. These basic level short courses are due to take place before/after the conference, and target an audience of students, "junior" physicists and researchers willing to start to their work on the fields covered by the lectures.


Latest news:
The number of people registered for the turorials has now reached the maximum desirable, so we are very unlikely so accept futher requests. At this stage, if you are really interested in attending the tutorials, we can only put you on a "waiting list". For further information, please contact Luis Távora.

The sessions will take place on saturday (21/10) and sunday (22/10) at the Hotel Holliday Inn, . The schedule of the tutorials is presented below.



 

The format of these tutorials will consist of half-day sessions with 45' talks . The tutorials expected to take place, and topics covered are:
