Practical Information

Date and Place of the School

The 7th CERN – Latin-American School of High-Energy Physics will be held from 6 to 19 March 2013 in Arequipa in Southern Peru. All the participants will be housed in the Estelar Hotel El Lago that also provides the conference facilities for the lectures and discussion sessions. The hotel is located in an area of 30,000 square meters, with huge green areas and a beautiful lake. The hotel has sports and leisure facilities that will be available to the participants, including a swimming pool.

General information about Peru may be found from here.

Accommodation

The students, faculty and staff of the School will be lodged in the Estelar Hotel El Lago. Students will share twin rooms with toilets and shower rooms. Please note that the rooms will be allocated by the Organizers, mixing students of different nationalities. A photograph of the hotel is shown below.

The lecture hall and the rooms for the discussion sessions are situated in the hotel complex.

Breakfast, lunch and evening meals will be served in the restaurant of the hotel. There is a bar where participants will be able to purchase drinks in the evenings. Free wireless internet will be provided for all participants, but please note that the bandwith will be very limited and coverage may be restricted to certain public areas of the hotel.

Travel Arrangements

Students who are selected to attend the School should arrange to arrive in Arequipa for registration during the afternoon or evening of Wednesday 6 March 2013. The school will end on the morning of Tuesday 19 March after breakfast.

On the day of arrival a pick-up service will be organized between
Arequipa's Rodríguez Ballón International Airport (airport code AQP)
and Hotel El Lago Estelar. Note that students should not make firm
bookings for travel to the school before they have been formally accepted, and travel details for funded students must be agreed in advance by the School organizers.

Cost

The cost of the School will be about CHF 1200 per student, and will cover tuition, board and lodging from dinner on Wednesday 6 March to breakfast on Tuesday 19 March 2013, as well as coffee, tea or cold drinks during the morning and afternoon breaks, in addition to some social activities. The fee does not include travel expenses from participants' home institutes to Arequipa and back, visa fees (where required) or the cost of insurance covering illness and accidents that is required for all participants.

Thanks to support from funding bodies in Peru, in addition to CERN, CIEMAT and RENAFAE, it will be possible to fully or partly cover the school fees and/or travel expenses for some of the Latin-American students who otherwise would not be able to attend the School. However, since the central funds are limited, we hope and expect that a majority of the institutes will be able to cover, fully or at least partially, the expenses of their students. This will allow the School to contribute the fees and/or travel costs for the largest possible number of Latin American students who are not able to obtain full financial support from their home institutes. Comments on the need for financial support should be given at the end of the application form.

Students who are not from Latin America are normally expected to have the school fees and travel cost covered fully by their institutes, although exceptions could be made for well-motivated cases from developing countries outside of Latin America.

Details concerning the method of payment of the fees will be sent together with the acceptance letters. At the same time, funded students will be informed of the procedures to be followed for making travel arrangements and applying for visas (where required).

Language

The working language of the School will be English. Participants must therefore have a good understanding of English to enable them to benefit from the School.

Proceedings

The School Proceedings will be published as a CERN Yellow Report. Each participant is entitled to one copy free of charge (on request). Proceedings from earlier schools are available (see Previous Schools).
