Why an inverted CSC ? § At every CSCs, the sum of the knowledge of the students often exceeds the one of lecturer teaching, and that it is frequent to find in the room real experts on particular topics. This is the idea behind i. CSC. Reversing the roles CSC n 10 i. CSC n i. CSC 2016, 29 February – 2 March 2016, CERN CSC n+1

The inverted CSC § At the end of each main school, we call students present to make proposals. When we receive sufficient proposals of appropriate quality, we organize an inverted school. § The students combine their skills and elaborate on CSC related subjects. 12 i.
