The Taller de Altas Energías (TAE) is a yearly workshop aimed at completing the education of first and second year graduated students who are starting their research on experimental/theoretical high energy physics, astroparticles and cosmology. The workshop program combines courses delivered by international experts and individual work supervised by tutors. Lectures will be delivered in the mornings, whereas tutorials and more specific seminars will be reserved for the afternoons. Students will work through the solutions of problems proposed by senior lectures with the help of tutors.

The 2011 edition will be hosted by the Department of Theoretical Physics of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU between July 11 and July 22. It is supported by the CPAN and the Red de Física de Partículas.

Venue

The lectures and tutorials will be held in the new Bizkaia Aretoa auditorium of the University of the Basque Country and the students can lodge at the Deusto Hall of Residence, which is walking distance from the auditorium. Both the Hall of Residence and the Auditorium are located in the recently refurbished Bilbao estuary, very close to the Guggenheim museum, the Fine Arts museum and the Euskalduna Conference Center.

44.50 € per day + tax (IVA 8%)

Students can lodge at the Deusto Hall of Residence between July 9th and July 24th, and are eoncouraged to attend the whole programme.

The organization will offer a reduced number of grants for students. Those students applying for a grant should indicate and justify it in their application form. After the registration process, the amount of money payable for both the registration fee and the accommodation will be displayed, and the fees should be paid by transfer to the account below. The registration will not be completed until the payment has been received.

The account number for the transfer: 2095-0292-95-32-3900074-5
For international transfers: IBAN: ES29 2095 0292 9532 3900 0745 BIC: BASKES2BXXX
(This number corresponds to the Bilbao Bizkaia Kutxa account of the Departamento de Física Teórica UPV/EHU)

IMPORTANT When making the transfer, clearly state TAE + name . Please, do NOT state only the name of the institution when you make the transfer. For example, if John Smith wishes to register, when transfering the money he will make sure that it says “TAE John Smith ” .
