  INFN-National Laboratory of Legnaro (Padova),
  Italy
• Themes of the lectures
• Detectors and Radiation Effects (Monday-Tuesday)
• Electronics and Radiation Effects (Wednesday)
• Case Studies the Industrial Viewpoint (Thursday)
• Space Weather and Test Equipments (Friday)

The Attendance

• We were expecting 20-30 students
• We received 84 applications
• 72 students actually attended the School (18 from
  Padova), not including the Speakers
• Approximately 1/3 of the students had an
  Electronic Engineering background, 1/3 Physics,
  1/3 Astronomy-Astrophysics
• Students came mostly from University departments
  all across Italy, but some also from industries
• Very good student feedback forms
• All the didactic material is available on the WEB
  site

The Future

• Next school is planned in 2007 for the time
  being, arrivederci!
