The International Summer School offers advanced courses on various topics at
both undergraduate and graduate levels. The programme of the 7th International
Summer School consists of courses in the following fields:
mathematics and applied mathematics
computer science and information systems
statistics
physics
biology
chemistry
A certificate is given upon successful completion of each course. The
instruction will be in English. Some courses are part of the teaching
programme in the national graduate schools: Graduate School on Particle and
Nuclear Physics, Graduate School on Condensed Matter, Graduate School on
Analysis and Logic, Computing and Mathematical Sciences COMAS. In the 6th
International Summer School in 1996 there were 310 participants from
23 different countries.
Application
To apply for the International Summer School, please fill in the attached
application form. Send it and a description of your studies (or CV) to the
organizers by May 1, 1997. The Organizing Committee will select the
participants based on the applications.
Accommodation and fees
The courses are free of charge. Participants can choose their accommodation
between modern student apartments, a summer hotel and a hotel. The approximate
cost for housing is as follows: student apartment 900 FIM/three weeks and
700 FIM/two weeks, 500 FIM/week, summer hotel 150 FIM/night and hotel
300 FIM/night. Each participant is responsible for his/her own housing,
living and travel expenses. The rent for the student apartment is requested
to be paid in advance in May. Full refund can be made if cancellation is
received by July 1, 1997. We can help with the room reservations in the
summer hotel and hotels.
