The SMARTHEP Programme will sponsor the 46th CERN School of Computing, which will take place from July 6th to 19th, 2025, at Lund University in Sweden. The two-week programme will consist around 50 hours of lectures and hands-on exercises, covering three main themes:
- Physics computing
- Software engineering
- Data technologies.
Students who pass the final optional exam will receive a diploma from the CSC, as well as ECTS credits. However, it’s not all study; the social and sport programme is also a vital part of the School. We will have ample opportunities to explore and experience some of the great cultural, historical and natural attractions of Lund and its surroundings, including visits to Malmö and the island of Ven.
