Dear colleagues

We would like to remind you about the summer school 'QCD Masterclass', that will take place on 18-24 of June 2017 in Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer (west of France). The school is aimed in priority at Ph.D. students and postdocs in theoretical high energy physics, but senior researchers can also apply. All interested candidates should apply via the pre-registration form _before March 15, 2017_ at https://indico.cern.ch/event/547800/registrations/

The candidates are expected to apply for the complete duration of the school. Successful applicants will be notified shortly after the deadline for application. The registration fee is fixed to 400 euros and includes the full board accommodation from June 18 (evening) to June 24 (morning). The fee will be waived for selected participants from CNRS.

The program of the QCD Masterclass consists in four topical lectures in QCD (~6-8 hours each) given from Monday to Friday. Topics and lecturers are:

Resummation in QCD - Eric Laenen (NIKHEF, Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Saturation in QCD - Alfred Mueller (Columbia University, New York, USA)
Theory of quarkonium production - Jianwei Qiu (Jefferson Lab, Newport News, USA)
Color structure of QCD - to be announced

Please forward this second circular to anyone who may be interested. For any question, feel free to contact us at qcd2017@subatech.in2p3.fr .

Best regards,
Francois Arleo, Stephane Peigne (chairs of the QCD Masterclass organizing committee)
