The 10th jubilee
This is the jubilee summer school. When we started the summer school in 2001 in Belfast we did not know whether people will be interested in coming and how many. It turned out to be a success. For a report on the 1st summer school 2001 at Queens University belfat see here.
The 1st summer school received considerable attention by the local and national media. International coverage was provided by a documentary produced by Annemieke Smit from VPRO-television, a public television channel. She and her Dutch TV crew filmed the school's progress and produced a science (Voor de graap) show on humor and laughter. The report was broadcasted on September 6th as part of their weekly science program, called Northern Lights. (smallband, broadband, 23 mins).
Nine more summer schools were held in different European countries. The present summer school will celebrate the 10th successful anniversary. |
