Scheduled Lectures

H.Gao (Duke)
J. Hadenbauer (Bonn)
T.Motoba (Osaka E.C.)
H.Stoeher (COSY)
J.Vary (Iowa S.)
M.Oka (Tokyo Tech.)
M.Naruki (Kyoto)
S.N.Nakamura (Tohoku)

The schedule of the school consists of two parts.
The first half (13-15 February) will be held around J-PARC (Tokai, 
Ibaraki pref.) which is located at 100km northeast of Tokyo and 70km 
north of the Tokyo-Narita airport. The latter half (16-19 February) will 
be held on the Kawauchi campus of Tohoku University (Sendai, Miyagi 
pref.). At the night of 19th, summary and discussion session will be 
held at Sakunami hot-spring in Sendai. The city of Sendai with a 
population of one million is the center of the northern part of Japan, 
"Tohoku District".

It is located about 350 km north of Tokyo and can be accessed in 1 hour 
and 45 minutes by the super-express train (Tohoku Shinkansen). We will 
arrange a bus transportation from Tokai to Sendai on the 16th and Tohoku 
Univ. to Sakunami on the 19th for the school participants. On the way to 
Sendai, a short visit to historical town, Aizu, is planned.
The school will welcome a maximum of approximately 50 graduate students 
and young scientists from all over the world both in experiments and in 
theory. Students have a chance to have financial
support for part of their travel and local expenses. Deadline of 
application is the 31st October, 2013. In addition, the organizers 
strongly advise the persons who need a visa to enter Japan, to contact the
organizer as soon as possible, since the issuance of a visa may take a 
long time.

Application and Selection of participants:
Application form can be submitted from the SNP school 2014 homepage.

The registration fee is 15,000 yen (only cash will be accepted at the 
registration desk) which includes coffee, refreshments, lunch at Tokai 
site, the bus transportation from Tokai to Sendai and the welcome 
reception.

Students and young post docs are to attend full lectures and discussion 
session from the morning of 13th through the late night of 19th. It 
means students had better arrive at Tokai in the 12th . It should be 
noted that leaving Tokyo on the morning of the 20th is difficult. Please 
consult with organizer if you have any question about travel plan in 
Japan.  If you cannot make it, please contact with the organizers.

Selections of participants (students and post-docs) and financial 
support for them will be performed based on research interest, 
activities, abstract of the presentation and a one-page recommendation 
letter provided by your supervisor to be attached to the application form.
All young participants are expected to present his/her activities by 
poster or oral sessions during the school.
Please give a title and one-page abstract which will affect the decision 
of financial support.
