Applications from graduate students and post-docs should include a brief CV and a statement that travel funds are available. For students, a short note of endorsement by a senior scientist should be appended or requested. No special application form is required. (Be sure to include date of birth/age, sex, complete work address, and contact information.) There is no registration cost. A local expense fee of 700 Euros, payable upon arrival, covers lodging, meals, and transportation (provided by the Centre) between the Palermo airport and Erice. Participants dine at their choice of a number of Erice restaurants.
Participants needing financial assistance should apply as soon as possible. Partial assistance with local expenses will be offered mainly (but not exclusively) to (a) students from overseas, i.e., those requiring trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific travel, (b) students from former East-bloc countries, and (c) students who demonstrate financial need. Requests for financial assistance should accompany the application.
Qualified applicants who can defray all of their own expenses are usually admitted. They should apply soon, since space is limited.
Senior Participants are encouraged to attend and should contact one of the directors.
Applications should be submitted to John P. Wefel via e-mail (wefel@phunds.phys.lsu.edu) or via fax (1-225-578-1222.) Response will be via e-mail. NOTE: Please use standard formats for attached files. PDF is preferred, but .doc or .rtf files are acceptable. (The latter will be scanned for viruses and returned if such are found.) Other formats are discouraged.
