<p align="left">The MCnet collaboration is pleased to
announce its eleventh international <br>
summer school on event generator physics and techniques.
It will take <br>
place in the <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.visitlund.se_en&d=DwMDaQ&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=zjNnRyqZaKeBeMueMyDi7Q&m=tkAk8nHl-eNxVFLH_K3noKQOd5fmGQVJAftBPE4nw7Q&s=om2iiXs_A0vzGeJXGNN8dW-aJOvdx2eAsXdMOq-AyGE&e=" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">city of
Lund[visitlund.se]</a> (Sweden), with arrival on Sunday
2 July and <br>
departure Friday afternoon 7 July.</p>
<p>The school provides a five day course of training in the
physics and <br>
techniques used in modern Monte Carlo event generators via
a series of <br>
lectures and practical sessions. The school is aimed at
advanced doctoral <br>
students and young postdocs.</p>
<p>Our core sessions comprise a series of introductory
lectures on the physics <br>
of event generators, further lectures on a wide range of
topics, a series of <br>
hands-on tutorials using all of the MCnet event
generators for LHC physics, <br>
and evening discussion sessions with Monte Carlo authors.
<br>
</p>
<p>The full list of lectures is: <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Introduction to event generators</b> <br>
- Peter Skands (Monash, Melbourne) </li>
<li><b>Matching and merging</b> <br>
- Stefan Höche (SLAC, Stanford) </li>
<li><b>Heavy-ion and cosmic-ray generators</b> <br>
- Klaus Werner (SUBATECH, Nantes) </li>
<li><b>Simulation of Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics</b>
<br>
- Valentin Hirschi (ETH, Zürich) </li>
<li><b>Effective field theories</b> <br>
- Eleni Vryonidou (NIKHEK, Amsterdam) </li>
<li><b>Simulation of neutrino physics</b> <br>
- Costas Andreopoulos (Rutherford & Liverpool) </li>
<li><b>Tuning of generators</b> <br>
- Holger Schulz (Durham) </li>
<li><b>Machine learning and applications (industrial
application)</b> <br>
- Michel Herquet (B12 Consulting, Louvain-la-Neuve) </li>
<li><b>Outreach</b> <br>
- Christina Isaxon (Lund) </li>
</ul>
<p>Most local expenses for students are funded by the EU
through the <br>
MCnetITN3 Initial Training Network: there is no
registration fee, and <br>
student housing and some meals will be provided free of
charge. <br>
A few travel bursaries are available for participants from
Convergence <br>
Regions of the EU and others in financial need, whose
participation <br>
would otherwise be prevented. <br>
</p>
<p>Applications must be received by <b>1st of May 2015</b>.
Bursary decisions will <br>
be made after that date - students that have an urgent
need for earlier <br>
information on acceptance should contact:
