Dear all,
we’ll be returning to Les Houches for the third edition of our Winter School. The Physics Centre will welcome us after a complete renovation from 8-19 January 2018. We have kept our well-appreciated formula of lectures during the day, exercises and posters after dinner, and long lunch breaks for scientific discussions and some skiing. Places are limited, so watch out for the registration !
