It is organized by the CERN TH group . \nThe school is an analytic continuation of a series of schools organized in the framework of the former EC-RTN network "Constituents\, Fundamental Forces and Symme tries of the Universe"\, hosted by CERN. This event is primarily meant for training of Ph.D. students and young postdoc researchers and will consist of general lectures in the mornings and working group sessions in the aft ernoons.\n\nPrevious schools in this series were organized in 2005 at SI SSA in Trieste\, and in 2006 \, 2007 and 2008 at CERN\, Geneva. Other similar schools have been organized in the past by the former related RTN network "The Quantum Structure of Spacetime and the Geometric Nature of F undamental Interactions".\n\nThis year the school is not funded by the E uropean Union. \nThe school is funded by the CERN Theory Group\, and the A rnold Sommerfeld Center of Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich.\n\n\n\ nScientific committee: \nJ.L.F.

Theorists\, model builders\, phenomenologists\, and experim entalists with an inclination for theory are all encouraged to apply. The school will share the same spirit as the 2010 school.  The school unfort unately overlaps with the Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics in St Andrews\, which however is more oriented to experimentalists. There will be three 1.5 h lectures per day followed by discussion sessions in th e afternoon. Students will also have the opportunity to present their work in short talks if they wish.\n\n Place:\n\n The school will take place at the Institute for Scientific Studies in Cargese\, Corsica.\n\n Lectures:     (#C=CMS\, #A=ATLAS )     \n   ♦ Experimental lectures:\n\n Search for new physics at Tevatron: Aurelio Juste (ICREA & IFAE\, Univer sitat Autonoma de Barcelona\, #A)\,\n \n Overview of LHC results: Karl Ja kobs (Freiburg U.\, #A)\,\n \n Search for Exotics: Meenakshi Narain (Brow n U.\, #C)\,\n \n Statistics: Glen Cowan (Royal Holloway\, U. of London\, #A). \n\n ♦ Closing lecture/Perspectives:\n\n Tejinder Virdee (Imper ial College\, London\, #C).\n  ♦ Theory lectures:\n\n Collider physic s: Maxim Perelstein (Cornell U.)\,\n \n Jet physics (substructure\, boost ed objects): Matthew Schwartz (Harvard U.)\,\n \n QCD: Andrea Banfi (Frei burg U.)\,\n \n Top physics: Eric Laenen (Amsterdam U. & Nikhef)\,\n \n Higgs theory and searches: Chiara Mariotti (INFN-Torino & CERN\, #C)\,\n \ n Alternatives for Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: Alex Pomarol (Universit at Autonoma de Barcelona)\,\n \n SUSY models of EW scale: David Shih (Rut gers U.)\,\n \n Flavor and New Physics: Andreas Weiler (DESY)\,\n \n Dar k matter - LHC connection: Natalia Toro (Perimeter Institute).\n  ♦  Tutorials:\n\n MadGraph practice: Maxim Perelstein (Cornell U.)\,\n \n Simplified models: Natalia Toro (Perimeter Institute).\n\n Application: O n-line application will open on December 1st\, 2011 and will close on Marc h 9th\, 2012. The student selection will be announced around the end of Ma rch\, 2012. Advisory Committee: lecturers of the 2010 Cargese summer sch ool.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=162087 LOCATION:Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=162087 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:CERN Theory Group Retreat\, 2012 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121109T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121109T210000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T213529Z UID:indico-event-206001@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n This year's TH retreat will take place at the Holiday Inn i n Thoiry-StGenis. The scientific part of the meeting will include reviews of the activities of the theory group\, and presentations by the new TH fe llows. This will last until ~18:00\; after that we return to CERN\, for a buffet-dinner in the Main Restaurant (in the glassbox area).

The 2013 edition of the school is supported and or ganized by the CERN Theory Divison\, and will take place from Monday Febru ary 4 to Friday February 8\, at CERN.\n\n As its predecessors\, this schoo l is meant primarily for training of doctoral students and young postdocto ral researchers in recent developments in theoretical high-energy physics and string theory. The programme of the school will consist of five series of pedagogical lectures\, complemented by tutorial discussion sessions in the afternoons.\n\n Previous schools in this series were organized in 200 5 at SISSA in Trieste\, and in 2006\, 2007\, 2008\, 2009\,  2010\,  201 1 and 2012 at CERN\, Geneva. Other similar schools have been organized in the past by the former related RTN network "The Quantum Structure of Spac etime and the Geometric Nature of Fundamental Interactions". The school is funded by the CERN Theory Division\, and the Arnold Sommerfeld Center at Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich.\n\n Scientific committee: M. Gabe rdiel\, D. Luest\, A. Sevrin\, J.
