The 14^th Thematic CERN School of Computing (tCSC 2024) will take place on 9-15 June 2024. The academic programme will focus on Scientific Software for Heterogeneous Architectures, covering areas ranging from computer architectures to parallel and optimised software, and heterogeneous programming (CPU, GPU, HPC …).

This school is organized by CERN in collaboration with the Information Technology School (ITS), situated at the Comtrade Campus in Belgrade, Serbia. CSC students will have access to modern lecture rooms, labs and a sports hall as well as restaurants and cafeterias. The campus is situated in the new Belgrade area by the Danube river, only a short busride from the old city center of Belgrade.

More details and registration are available in indico.

The 15^th Inverted CERN School of Computing (iCSC 2024) consists of lectures and hands-on exercises presented over a few days by former CERN School of Computing students. The Inverted School provides a platform to share their knowledge by turning students into teachers.

The topics covered this year are: HEP computing and simulations, Natural Language Processing, Computer Networks and many others

Full agenda will be published soon in indico!
