In the framework of the ESF ASTROSIM project, we organize an advanced summer school on computational astrophysics at Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland, 11-25 July 2010. The school aims to bring together PhD students, young post-doctoral researchers and experienced computational astrophysicists to provide an integrated overview of numerical and computational techniques applied in numerical simulations of fluid dynamical and N-body astrophysical systems. The school will offer a hands-on approach to astrophysical numerical simulations, with computer laboratories and access to large computer clusters in addition to lectures.
