The PRACE 2017 Spring School will be a joint training event with the EU H2020 VI-SEEM project (https://vi-seem.eu/) and will be organised by CaSToRC at The Cyprus Institute.

The school will be a 3-day event starting Tuesday 25th April and ending Thursday 27th April 2017.

The aim of the seasonal school is to serve the training needs of different persons of the PRACE, VI-SEEM and European communities and will thus have two parallel sessions - a Developer Track and a System Administration Track.

More details of each track and their sessions can be found under "Scientific Pogramme".

The school is offered free of charge (not including travel and accommodation) to anyone who wishes to attend.

The teaching language of the event will be in English.

All applicants are advised to bring their own laptop so as to participate in any hands on exercises which may be held.
