The first Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics
 |
The first Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics (AEPSHEP) will be held from 14 through 27 October 2012 in Fukuoka, Japan.
The purpose of the School is to provide young physicists with an opportunity to learn about recent advances in elementary-particle physics from world-leading researchers. It also aims to encourage communications among Asian, European and Pacific-region young researchers.
The School will teach High-Energy Physics from an experimental and phenomenological perspective, with a focus on accelerator-based programmes in Asia and Europe, and related fields such as astro-particle physics and cosmological aspects of particle physics.
The international organisers of the School include scientists from Australia, China, France, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and Taiwan, as well as from CERN. The local organisation of the 2012 school is being supported by KEK and by Kyushu University, with the involvement of some other universities in Japan.
There were more than 190 applications and the International Organising Committee selected about 100 talented and promising students, mainly from Asia, Europe and the Pacific region. (Places at the School were offered to candidates from Australia, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong-Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Vietnam, based on the country/region of their home institutes.)
