[DMANET] Final call for participation: 2nd Swedish Summer School in Computer Science

The application deadline is approaching for the 2nd Swedish Summer School in
Computer Science (http://s3cs.csc.kth.se/), which will be held from June 28 to
July 4 in the beautiful Stockholm archipelago.

The summer school runs for a full week Monday-Friday at the beginning of July
when Sweden is at its loveliest, with arrival on Sunday evening and departure
Saturday morning. It consists of two mini-courses on "List decoding and polar
coding" by Venkatesan Guruswami and "Codes with local decoding procedures" by
Sergey Yekhanin.

The school is primarily intended for PhD students, but postdocs and bright MSc
students are also warmly welcome. The registration fee, which is either 3000
SEK (around 325 Euro / 350 USD) or 6000 SEK (around 650 Euro / 700 USD) for
students whose advisors can cover a bit more of the cost, includes full
accommodation and all meals.

The application deadline is March 15. Please see http://s3cs.csc.kth.se/ for
more information including instructions how to apply. Any questions can be
directed to s3cs-2015@csc.kth.se.
