The Second SESAME-LinkSCEEM Summer School
11 - 13 September, 2012
SESAME, Amman, Jordan

First Announcement

Objective

The main objectives of the SESAME – LinkSCEEM Summer School is to motivate the scientists in the Middle-East region with topics related to Synchrotron Radiation (SR) and High Performance Computing (HPC) and the applications of these topics in their respective field of research. On the other hand, this activity will give an opportunity to participants to present their research and projects to school trainers and trainees. Moreover, the school will help to establish a potential user's base of the HPC users in SR research domains within the SESAME region.

Sponsors

The School is part of the EU funded LinkSCEEM-2 project training activities which aim to prepare the Eastern Mediterranean scientific community for the use of HPC systems where the sponsors and organizers of this activity are the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME), European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CaSToRC) of the Cyprus Institute (CyI).
