Program overlook

The daily program will include 2 lectures on fundamental processes and 2 research seminars presenting the most recent advances in this field. Hands-on exercises will be organized on i) numerical methods, ii) laboratory imaging, iii) field sensing and monitoring. Each participant will have the opportunity to present his/her current work during poster sessions. The outstanding environment of Cargèse favors informal interactions between participants and lecturers.
