The Inverted CSC (iCSC) is a 4 day long school, organised at CERN. It consists of lectures and hands-on exercises on a variety of topics, given by former CSC students. This school provides the students with a platform to share their knowledge – and by doing so, it effectively “inverts” the roles by turning students into teachers.
This year's iCSC will include topics on Machine Learning and LLMs, HEP Computing, Best Coding Practices, Parallel computing and many more.
The school will take place on March 15-19, 2027 as a hybrid event - at CERN and on Zoom. All lectures will be included in the Zoom event, however for the hands on exercises no Zoom will be available. All presentations and recordings of lectures will be available from the timetable. March 19th will be dedicated to visits for external participants.
The school is free of charge and participants from outside of CERN are welcome to take part as well. During the event you are welcome to take part in the daily coffee breaks. We will not arrange for any accommodation or travel for participants, nor any other catering.
Those who register for onsite presence will be invited to register, against a small fee , to the networking dinner, taking place on Tuesday 16 March.
Registration to attend this school will open early 2027. You are not obliged to stay for all lectures, you can attend the ones that interest you the most.
Attendance certificates will only be given out to those attending in person, all days.
