The lectures are primarily addressed to Ph.D. students in High Energy Particle and Astroparticle Physics. 
Participation of post-docs is also encouraged. The aim of the school is to give a pedagogical introduction 
to the basic concepts and tools needed for research, covering the foundations of the subject at a deep and advanced level. Lectures will be given on the blackboard.  Students will have the possibility to take exams for the courses, if requested by their doctoral school.
