ORGANISATION AND MANAGEMENT |
||||||||||||
The general organisation of the school will be made by a group of co-ordinators in Orsay, assisted by two other
groups, that of Dr. Bernard Dujon (Pasteur Institute, Paris) and Dr. André Goffeau (ENS, Paris). These groups are assited by a
scientific committee who is especially in charge of the programme of the school, invited lecturers, and participants,
and by the local organizers in the Scientific Institute of Cargese, in charge of lodging, material organization, budget,
travels etc...
The organisation of the school will ensure maximal interactions between young researchers and senior scientists by
the following dispositions :
- The first favourable element is the place where the school is organized, confined between sea and montains of Corsica.
This place will naturally incite participants to remain together.
- After each lecture, enough time will be allowed for discussions, and lecturers are invited to stimulate discussions
during their session and all along the school. Because of the diversity of topics, there will be always a majority of
non-specialists in the audience for a given topic, so that juniors (and seniors) feel more easy to ask questions.
A typical day will be scheduled as follows :
the morning will be devoted to 2 to 4 conferences, each of them giving essential information on a given topic. Each
lecturer will animate discussions that can be prolonged during lunch (lunch is served just outside the conference room).
In the afternoon, each lecturer is in charge of the organization of his own session on the topic presented in the
morning. In each afternoon session (2 to 4), a small group of participants, juniors and seniors will make a short
presentation on a precise point. This allows that almost all attendees actively participate.

In most cases, the easiest way to come to Cargese is to fly to Ajaccio. The cheapest tickets are usually obtained by
buying a round trip ticket from your departing city to Ajaccio.
It is also possible to come by boat either :
from France (SNCM , Corsica Ferries). Departures are from Marseilles, Nice and Toulon.
or from Italy (Corsica Ferries). Departures are from Genova.
We will run Shuttle buses between the Ajaccio airport and the Institute on the days of arrival and departure.
2 bus shuttles are envisaged on Monday July, 15 : one in early afternoon for attendees arriving with morning fligths, and another in
the evening for later flights.
Please make your travel arrangements as soon as possible once your application has been accepted, as many flights and
boats are full long in advance at this time of the year. Keep us informed as soon as possible, so that we can manage better shuttle schedules.
