The Training School will offer an intensive programme of lectures and
hands-on tutorials covering:
* Machine Learning for Particle Physics,
* Quantum Computing for High Energy Physics,
* Comp**ational Infrastructure and Resource Optimization,
* Collider Physics,
* Theory–Experiment Interface.
The school is primarily intended for PhD students and early-career
researchers interested in machine learning, quantum computing, and their
applications to future collider experiments.
A limited number of participants will be eligible for COST financial
support covering travel expenses and/or daily allowance, in accordance with
the COST Annotated Rules.
The Indico page, including the application form and all practical
information, is available here:

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this announcement with
your students, colleagues, research groups, and institutional mailing
lists, and circulate it more broadly wherever appropriate. Your help in
reaching talented young researchers across our community is greatly
appreciated.
We look forward to receiving many excellent applications and to welcoming
