The School consisted of level-up courses intended for PhD students, as well as updating courses for postdocs and researchers. In addition, a few propaedeutical crash courses were organized to bridge the gaps in the attendance and to facilitate an active participation. The courses were held mostly on the blackboard. The audience was assumed to have at least a PhD student level either in phenomenological particle theory, in astroparticle physics or in field and string theory. One of the aims of the School was to bring together researchers of these different areas and to update them on one another's discipline. The School was divided in two workshops:

1. Interface between Cosmology and Particle Physics
   Courses:
   • W. GRIMUS and S. PETCOV: Neutrino Phenomenology
   • A. MASIERO and F. FERUGLIO: Beyond the Standard Model
   • P. ULLIO: Introduction to Dark Matter
   • N. BILIC: Black holes phenomenology
2. Particle Physics, Gravity and String Theory
   Courses:
   • R. BRANDENBERGER: Topics in Cosmology
   • J. ZANELLI: Black holes physics
   • C. NUNEZ: Strings\Gauge Correspondence
   • A. JEVICKI: AdS/CFT
   • G. DALL'AGATA: String vacua and moduli stabilization
   • C. BURGESS: Cosmology and Strings
   • G. CARDOSO: Black Holes and String Theory

Seminars were held during the School:
Seminars:

• D. DENEGRI: New physics at LHC
• D. WARK: Neutrino Experiments
• C. BACCIGALUPI: Review on Cosmological Experiments
• A. MUELLER: Experimental evidence of Black Holes
• S. LIBERATI: Astrophysical constraints on Lorentz violation

In addition the following introductory courses were given during the first week:
Introductory courses:

• M. BERTOLINI: Propaedeutical course in supersymmetry
• T. PROKOPEC: Propaedeutical course in cosmology
• G. BONELLI: Propaedeutical course of string theory
• M. SERONE: Propaedeutical course on physics of extra dimensions
