Hylleraas School 2021

Hylleraas School 2021 will be held at Hotel Hadeland 17 - 22 Oct

Building in summery surroundings

Hotell Hadeland.

The purpose of the school is to introduce important topics within all six Research Themes (RT) of the centre. A full day will be dedicated to each RT,  typically organised with morning lectures and afternoon group tutorials. Throughout the week, there is ample free time to promote social activities and to establish and reinforce cross-node research projects. 

Important: bring your laptops.

This Hylleraas School is organised by Karolina Solheimslid Eikås, Audun Skau Hansen, David Balcells, and Simen Reine.

Program

Each day is dedicated to a single RT, with three hours each of lectures and tutorial. The school starts Sunday 17 Oct at 10 am, and ends Friday 22 Oct at 4:30 pm. The schedule can be found on the school padlet.
