Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the QCD summer school 'QCD Masterclass 2017'
(https://indico.cern.ch/e/QCDMasterClass2017) that will take place on 18-24
of June 2017 in Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, a small village in Brittany (west of
France) close to the city of Saint-Malo and the world famous Mont
Saint-Michel.

The school is aimed in priority at Ph.D. students and postdocs in
theoretical high energy physics, but senior researchers can also apply. The
expected number of participants is 25. The program of the QCD Masterclass
consists in four topical lectures in QCD given from Monday to Friday. Topics
and lecturers are:

Resummation in QCD - Eric Laenen (NIKHEF, Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Saturation in QCD - Alfred Mueller (Columbia University, New York, USA)
Theory of quarkonium production - Jianwei Qiu (Jefferson Lab, Newport News,
USA) Color structure of QCD - Malin Sjvdahl (University of Lund, Sweden)

Applications are now open, all interested candidates should apply via the
pre-registration form at
https://indico.cern.ch/event/547800/registrations/30341/ (deadline for
application: March 15, 2017). The candidates are expected to apply for the
complete duration of the school, with preferably arrival on June 18
