February 24th, 2026: We already have reached the maximum number of 40 pre-registered participants. Those of you who pre-registered before February 19th will soon receive an email from the organisers, asking to confirm by email that they will come and how they will pay the registration fee. This last step will be sufficient to guarantee their participation to the school. It is still possible to pre-register. In this case, you will be added to a waiting list and be notified as soon as possible if a place becomes available. 

January 26th, 2026: We are pleased to announce that ISTPC 2026 pre-registration is now open. You can fill out the pre-registration form here. Note that the number of participants is limited to 40, on a first come — first served basis. Registration will be confirmed once the registration fee (about 1200€ for the two weeks, accommodation in a double room and meals included) has been paid. Details will be sent to pre-registered participants in due time.
