Welcome to the 45th CERN School of Computing (CSC 2024)
The school will take place between the 8th-21st September 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. This year’s School is organized in collaboration with the Deutches Elektronen-Synchroton (DESY) and the event will be hosted at the DESY campus in Hamburg.
Academic Programme
The two-week programme will consist around 50 hours of lectures and hands-on exercises, covering three main themes: physics computing, software engineering, and data technologies. Students who pass the final optional exam will receive a diploma from the CSC, as well as ECTS credits.
Other activities
However, it's not all study; the social and sport programme is also a vital part of the School. We will have ample opportunities to explore and experience some of the great cultural, historical and natural attractions of Hamburg and its surroundings.
