Lectures on the first day (Monday, February 11, 2013) will be held in ISI Kolkata lecture hall. Lectures on the second day (Tuesday, February 12, 2013) will be held in the lecture hall of RKM Vivekananda University at Belur. After the lectures, there will be a small session of lectures on Swami Vivekananda's active role in encouraging and supporting research and teaching in science and engineering (not so well-known in the scientific community). Our school will be a humble effort to show our respect to Swamiji and, specially, to remember this aspect of Swamiji. At the end, there will be a guided walking tour of Ramakrishna Math and Mission, Belur. On the third day (Wednesday, February 13, 2013), lectures will be held at ISI lecture hall like the first day, and the school will end just before lunch.
The school is aimed at fulfilling three purposes: (i) as a pre-conference school for WALCOM 2013, (ii) as an Indo-Israeli School, 2013 and (iii) as a Celebration of Swami Vivekananda's 150th Birth Anniversary.
