1st Bulletin
XVI LNF Spring School
"Bruno Touschek"

in Nuclear, Subnuclear and Astroparticle Physics

www.lnf.infn.it/conference/lnfss/12/

will take place at the INFN National Laboratories in Frascati, Italy, from

Monday, May 7th to Friday, May 11th, 2012.

The School is directed to graduate students, post-graduate and post-doctoral fellows in theoretical and experimental high energy physics. The 2012 edition of the School includes six sets of lectures on selected theoretical and experimental topics, two discussion sessions, and the Spring School Colloquium on Science and Technology.

Jointly with the XVI LNF Spring School, the

3rd Young Researchers Workshop:
"Physics Challenges in the LHC Era"

will take place on May 7th and 10th, afternoon.

Graduate students, post-graduate and post-doctoral fellows planning to participate in the School, are strongly encouraged to apply to give a presentation of their research work in the Workshop. The aim of the Workshop is to give to young researches the opportunity to present and discuss with their colleagues results of their research work. A selection committee, composed by members of the Local Organizing Committee, will select the contributions of highest scientific level. Acceptance to present a contribution in the Young Researcher Workshop should be regarded as a significative accomplishment.

APPLICATIONS TO PRESENT CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE WORKSHOP MUST BE RECEIVED BY

MARCH 31st, 2012.

(Later applications could be considered only in case of time availability).


FINANCIAL SUPPORT:

Very limited funds are available for participants in need of financial support, in the form of Fellowships that can cover part of the school expenses (accommodation and/or fee). To be eligible for Fellowships, participants must have applied and been accepted to give a presentation in the Young Researchers Workshop.
