7th Edition of INSPYRE – INternational School on modern PhYsics and REsearch
“The Space Frontier”
The National Laboratory of Frascati (LNF) of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Frascati (Rome) Italy, are organizing the 6th Edition of the INternational School on modern PhYsics and REsearch, under the theme: The Space Frontier.
The School, to be held in the period of February 13-17, 2017, is open to about 70 students in their last year(s) of high school coming from all over Europe.
INSPYRE involves lectures on Modern Physics and its applications in Society, with a special focus on “the space frontier”, and laboratory activities. The participants will also have the opportunity to visit the main experiments and accelerating facilities at LNF. English is the official language of the school.
The activity is free of charge; however, participants should provide for travel, accommodation and dinner expenses (lunch is organized at the LNF canteen).

- How to reach the National Laboratory of Frascati (LNF)
The LNF is within walking distance from Frascati, the Hotel Villa Mercede and Tor Vergata Railway Station.
The train station is very close to the LNF. - Hotel reservations (multiple rooms; private toilet; 36 euros per night, per person;) are confirmed directly from our office to the hotel: Hotel Villa Mercede.
Students will provide for the payment directly to the hotel. - Students will attend the Labs during office hours in agreement with the LNF tutors. The presence will be checked by the LNF Vigilance in entrance and exit.
- In case of absence, delay or early exits, students must promptly notify the LNF tutors and the Communication and Scientific Education Office. In order to achieve the Participation Certificate, absences are not allowed except for important reasons.
- The activity is free of charge; however, the participants should provide for travel, accommodation and dinner expenses (lunch is organized at the LNF canteen during the days of the School).
- We recommend to observe the class schedule and an appropriate behavior to a workplace.
