Modern Mathematics -
International Summer Schools for Students
The idea
The International Summer Schools Modern Mathematics are a
unique opportunity for international top-level mathematicians of today
and tomorrow to interact in a fruitful and substantial way. During 10
days, approximately 100 highly-potential young mathematicians from
around the globe meet with international leading mathematicians.
Beyond formal presentations, emphasis is laid on opportunity for
informal interaction and communication, for instance during breaks,
common meals, sports and games, excursions, and other activities. In
addition to presentations, discussion and involvement are encouraged
by active tutorials led by young researchers.
