Training sessions at CERFACS Toulouse CERFACS (the European Centre for Research and Advanced Training in Scientific Computation) has always tried to promote European collaborations. One way to do this is exchange of students. Every year, CERFACS hires students for training sessions (typically for 6 months) and they would be very happy to consider applications from students who are interested in studying in Toulouse. Here you can find the topics proposed for 2012. A PhD could follow many of these topics. |
