The schedule of the school consists of two parts.<br>
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”.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
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<br>
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<br>
organizer as soon as possible, since the issuance of a visa may
take a long time.<br>
<br>
Application and Selection of participants:<br>
Application form can be submitted from the SNP school 2014
homepage.<br>
<br>
The registration fee is 15,000 yen (only cash will be accepted at
the registration desk) which includes coffee, refreshments, lunch

welcome reception. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
All young participants are expected to present his/her activities
by poster or oral sessions during the school.<br>
