Proceedings :

The proceedings of the school have been published in Nucl. Phys. B Proc. Suppl. 171 (2007). A list of the contributions can be accessed from the SPIRES services at the address Cargese 2006 proceeding contributions

Location :

The ESFSI will be held at the Institut d'Études Scientifiques de Cargèse. Cargèse is a pleasant village of considerable charm and historic interest
located 50 km north of Ajaccio, on the west coast of Corsica (France). The Institute is located 2 kms south of the village.

Applications :

The school will be open by invitation only to approximately 65 participants. Applications should be made through the web form before February 15, 2006.
Junior applicants should arrange for a letter of recommendation to be sent by e-mail at cargese@lpthe.jussieu.fr before the above deadline.
Participants are expected to cover their own travel. The cost of the school, including half board and registration fees, will be 750 Euros (see the registration web-form for more details and the different options). Some funding will be available upon specific request.
