Applications Now Open for the ESC School 2025 in Bertinoro, Italy

We are happy to announce that applications are now open for the Efficient Scientific Computing (ESC) School 2025, an advanced training opportunity for PhD students, post-docs, and researchers working in scientific computing launched in collaboration with the Next Generation Triggers (NGT).

ESC 2025 will take place from 29 September to 9 October 2025 in the scenic setting of Bertinoro, Italy. The school — also known as Scuola di Bertinoro — is hosted inside a historic fortress nestled in the Romagna hills, offering a focused and inspiring environment for learning and exchange.

Why Attend?

ESC is dedicated to developing efficient, large-scale scientific computing applications, with a strong emphasis on performance, architecture-aware programming, and modern computing tools. It is organized by INFN (Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics) and features lecturers from CERN, INFN, and leading international universities.

Participants will explore:

  • The evolution of processor architectures and parallel programming models
  • Advanced programming in C++
  • Efficient memory usage and floating-point operations
  • Programming for heterogeneous environments, including multi-threading, GPUs, and MPI-based cluster computing

The school is intentionally limited to about 25 participants, allowing for a highly interactive format where attendees can benefit from close contact with the lecturers throughout the week.
