Pedagocial approach

The innovation of this thematic school lies in working around experimental manipulations or live numerical simulations. 

The program will propose five experimental / numerical situations. Each situation will have a duration of one day. In all situations, three teaching methods will be used: 

1.- Introductory courses (IC) (presentation, 2 hours) will be given at the beginning of the module. A presentation of the theme and the main theoretical / experimental models discussed in each manipulation / simulation will be the basic brick of each module. 

2.- Presentation course (PC) of the experimental manipulation / numerical simulation (exposed, 2 hours). These courses will present the classical techniques used to address the particular experimental manipulation / numerical simulation. Around these courses, presentations of specific studies will be given to illustrate the technological challenges and societal challenges. 

3.- Live Manipulation (LM) (3 hours of practical work, workshop, group work). During the second part of the module, an experimental manipulation or numerical simulation will be made live, and proposed to the stakeholders to recover, process and analyze the data. Given the large number of participants, in situations where there will be experiments to be done, each group will have to do the same number of tasks, but that will be shifted from each other between groups, so that all groups can go through experimental manipulation. 

A poster session (informal discussion areas) will be organized to encourage participants to introduce themselves and also to show their work lines. 

The evenings will be devoted to free discussion, and the participants will be invited to discuss with the speakers about their problems encountered in their field of research. 

Copies of the presentations will be available in electronic form for download on the theme school website. The publication of documents in the form of a booklet gathering course presentations is also envisaged.  The total formal teaching time planned is 34h.
