# APPLICATION & PROGRAM 

We are inviting applications to participate in the MLSS 2020. The application deadline is 11 February 2020. Details regarding the application process can be found at http://mlss.tuebingen.mpg.de/2020/participate.html . Everyone is welcome to apply to MLSS 2020 regardless of their origin, nationality, and country of residence. We aim to select 150 strongly motivated participants. Our primary target audience is early-mid stage PhD students with good technical background whose research topics are related to machine learning. All applicants are subject to a selection process. Note that the application portal may close earlier than the deadline if the number of applications exceeds our capacity to review

There is no application fee. However, for applicants selected to participate, there is a registration fee (details here). The registration fee will allow us to offer access to all lectures by the invited speakers, lunch, dinner and two coffee breaks everyday, social events (banquet, outdoor activities). A small number of travel awards are available for students who are accepted to attend.
