From Marco Zennaro, [EMAIL PROTECTED] : The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics is organizing a Workshop on "ICTP-ITU-URSI SCHOOL ON WIRELESS NETWORKING FOR SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES", to be held in Trieste, Italy, from the 5th to the 23rd February 2007. This School is the follow-up of the previous schools on the use of radio for digital communications held yearly since 1998 and series of Colleges on Radiopropagation carried out earlier at ICTP with the collaboration of URSI and ITU/BDT.
The School is addressed to a limited number of candidates coming from academic and research institutions of Developing Countries and having an adequate working knowledge of IP networking. It will include tutorial lectures and laboratory work, where wireless solutions for computer networking will be experienced through hands-on sessions. The Workshop is open to scientific computer consultants and network managers working in scientific institutions and isolated scientific environments with a minimal infrastructure. The main purpose of the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries within a framework of international cooperation. Scientists and students from all countries which are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the Workshop. As it will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by the home institution. Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fare (or at least half-fare). However, limited funds are available for some participants who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, who will be selected by the Organizers, and who are not more than 45 years old. Such support is available only for those who attend the entire duration of the Workshop. There is no registration fee. For both technical reasons and limited resources the total attendance to this Workshop is limited.
