GENERAL INFORMATION

A) - In addition to the official lectures, several seminars on related subjects will be held by visiting scientists.
B) - The scientific organization and direction of the Course are entrusted to the Directors.
C) - The School is intended for PhD students and young post-docs. The number of students at each Course is limited to about 60. Students are requested to attend all lectures and seminars.
D) - Whoever may be interested in attending the Course and is not entitled - for his age or other reasons - to be considered a student, may follow the Course as observer. Registration fee charged to observers is € 500,00.
Observers should provide for their board and lodging; if required, the School may take care of their hotel reservation.
E) - Applicants will be informed of the decision on their admittance within 30 days from the beginning of each Course.
F) - Owing to the limited number of places available in the lecture hall, it will not be possible to allow any person not selected by the Committee of the School to follow the Courses.
G) - Students are requested to arrive at Varenna respectively on the indicated arrival days.
Accommodation for the students will be provided in shared rooms with 2 beds in hotels/appartments at Varenna. Meals will be organized by the School.
H) - Fees should be paid by students and observers following the instruction and within the date indicated in the letter of admittance.
I) - Scholarships may be granted to deserving students, SIF Members, who need financial help. Such requests must be specified and justified in the recommendation letter. Scholarships will be assigned by the President of the Italian Physical Society.
J) - Students should avoid being accompanied by relatives. In view of the holiday season local accommodation is very limited. Quite exceptionally the School could see to the accommodation of members of students' families in local hotels. Hotel expenditure for students' relatives will be payable separately and directly to the hotel management.
