7. (my personal) conclusions good balance between lectures:
- detectors (2), experiment and analysis (3), theory (3)
- excellence level of internationally known lecturers
- extremely impressive gender balance in students
- active participation of the students with many questions, both during lectures and training, although some have transportation and attendance difficulties
- should envisage an extension of the school to other south Mediterranean countries (this can increase the budget)
great thanks to the sponsors
BUE/CTP, ASRT, Ain Shams, CNRS/IN2P3
and to the local organisers for the success of this first school
