hi cosmo-torun

There is an interesting winter school on the CMB - 19-30 November 2007:

The only difficult (strange) thing is that you must apply before 30 June,
i.e. just a few days away!!! which is 6 months in advance.

My guess is they probably need to apply for funding or pay something in
advance, but they also ask for 1300 euros registration fee - this includes
accommodation for 13 days. A normal registration fee for a big
conference can easily be 300 euros, so this would make about 77 euros/day
for accommodation (including food - "full-board").

Sounds strange and expensive to me. But if someone wants to go and can get
funding, it could be a good winter school.
