CSC IT Services 2026

This school is organized by CERN with involvement of the IT Department and will be hosted at the Appart’City Ferney-Voltaire.

Academic programme

The school on IT Services aims to empower CERN members of personnel (including Students, Fellows, Origin, Quests, Staff, and Users) to get the most out of the computing services delivered by the CERN IT Department to the physics community.

The school is recommended for any person that is using the CERN IT services either to deliver information, analyze data, automate tasks or work in engineering projects. We expect participation from both active users who would like to be more proficient and newcomers at CERN that would like to discover and get an introduction to the ecosystem of computing services available to all CERN users.

The school is not open to persons without a CERN status.

(Please note that this programme may be subject to minor changes.)
