As a rule, the participants should be supported by their home institution. However, a number of fellowships will be available for students (consisting of local support, but no transportation). The applicants should provide a short (one page) CV and a letter of recommendation from a professor or senior scientist who supports their application.
Applications for fellowships can be made online with letters of support e-mailed to either of the directors; the deadline is May 14th, 2023.
The proceedings of the conference will be published with an internationally recognized Publisher (TBD). A booklet of abstracts will be made available at the beginning of the school. For that, participants who will give lectures and oral contributions will be asked to send the abstracts of their papers (less than 300 words) via email to cssp23@nipne.ro, before June 7th, 2023.
Sinaia is a well known Romanian resort located at 130 km North from Bucharest (about 110 km from the Henri Coanda International Airport) in the Carpathian mountains.
There are good connections by car, bus and train from Bucharest (about 2 hours).
During the school, we shall also organize excursions and social events in order to create a nice atmosphere and to provide the participants with a flavour of
Romanian landscape and culture. Sinaia is "the Pearl of the Carpathians", close to the geographical centre of the country, itself a prime tourist attraction
and in close proximity to many first class natural and historical attractions of Romania. Extra activities, from visiting the Peles Castle with its beautiful art
collection or the open-air folklore exhibit and market, to dinning and wining at restaurants with live Romanian and international music, to mountain climbing,
are all available within walking distance, in Sinaia.
Visits to old Transylvanian cities, like Brasov, Sibiu and Sighisoara, or to the Bran castle ("Dracula's castle") and Poiana Brasov, are possible by car, bus or train.
