• SEVENTH SUMMER SCHOOL ON SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS - July 3 - 6, 2012, Ispra, Italy
  
  The school illustrates the motivations to conduct sensitivity analysis and offers an accessible treatment to the techniques used in global sensitivity analysis. The program begins with the first principles of sensitivity analysis and guides the student through the full range of recommended practices with exercises and application examples.
  
  Candidatures to the school have to be sent to sensitivity-analysis at jrc.ec.europa.eu by 15 February 2012. The school can accomodate up to 25 participants. The evaluation of candidates will be done in March. Successful candidates will be informed not later than April 2nd.
  
  The instructors are Andrea Saltelli (JRC), William Becker (JRC), Stefano Tarantola (JRC), Bertrand Iooss (EDF, France), Emanuele Borgonovo (Bocconi University) and Sergei Kucherenko (Imperial College London).
  
  The tariff will be approximately 550€ and includes four nights accommodation with breakfast, 4 lunches, 7 coffee breaks. The draft program is available through this link: http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/events.php?idx=41.
