(my personal) conclusions good balance between lectures: - detectors (2), experiment and analysis (3), theory (3) - excellence level of internationally known lecturers - extremely impressive gender balance in students - active participation of the students with many questions, both during lectures and training, although some have transportation and attendance difficulties - should envisage an extension of the school to other south Mediterranean countries (this can increase the budget) great thanks to the sponsors BUE/CTP, ASRT, Ain Shams, CNRS/IN2P3 and to the local organisers for the success of this first school Profs.
