In all previous years the School has been oversubscribed. Selection for the School is therefore competitive, based on the information supplied on the application form and by a referee's supporting letter.

We expect to accept between 60 and 70 students. We will be looking for students with commitment and enthusiasm for Grid research and development. We will expect competence and experience in some aspects of software development, distributed systems, computational systems, data systems and Grid applications.

Most students will establish their credentials from academic qualifications, but some will base this on experience.

We also welcome as participants educators who are planning to teach Grid computing.

The Summer School will be conducted in English, so fluency in English is important. Further details can be found in the Target Audience section. The applications should be supported by a reference letter from an academic supervisor, project leader or similarly senior person.

Applications are made online. The application e-form is now available.
