Application

The school is opened to students of any citizenship. Applications are open from April 11 to June 30, 2022 and must be completed on-line (don't wait for the final day!). No late registrations will be taken into account. A "Registration request" email is sent to the applicant after the on-line submission. Later, once the recommendation letter is received (see below), a "Registration confirmation" email is sent to confirm the pre-registration in the following days, meaning the registration is complete. Applicants will be informed of the final result of their application in July 2022.

(1) Applicants should create an account or login under the "Login" tab on the top right side. A "Register" tab can then be found.

(2) Applicants should prepare a short academic CV and a paragraph explaining the reasons and motivations for which they apply. CV and motivation should be prepared in plain text and filled directly in the online registration form. A few grants covering the accommodation fees (but not travel expenses) may be available. This is asked in the registration form as well. If the applicants ask for a grant, this should be also explained in the motivation text.

(3) To be valid, your application should be followed by a written recommendation from your PhD supervisor, in a pdf file with the name "LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_letter.pdf". The recommendation pdf file should be sent by email to coldatom2022[at]sciencesconf.org before June 30, 2022. Note that you should ask yourself for the recommendation letter, your supervisor will not receive any direct request from us. Once the recommendation letter is received, a "Registration confirmation" email is sent in the following days (see above). If no letter is received, there will be no "Registration confirmation" email and the registration will not be complete, so please ask/send the letter as soon as possible.

(4) The accommodation fees are 732 € and are to be paid on arrival (credit card or cash). They are mandatory. Students are expected to reside in the school premises during the duration of the school. The fees cover the registration to the school, full-board accommodation, lodging and meals at les Houches school of Physics, from (and including) the dinner of September 26 to (and including) the lunch of October 7. Please note that the accommodation fees do not cover travel expenses.

(5) During the month of July 2022, we will let you know if your application has been accepted or declined to participate in the pre-doc school.
