Summer schools and Olympiads

What is a "summer school"?

These can be summer theoretical courses and seminars in completely different disciplines, ranging from medieval literature to analytical chemistry, or on some narrow topic, which on average last 3-4 weeks.

Who is it for?

The summer school can be held for different audiences: for students, postgraduates, young scientists, social activists or just for interested specialists.

Who organizes it?

Summer schools are usually organized by foreign universities, where their own or invited teachers, or expert practitioners conduct several thematic programs. Summer schools are also organized by non-governmental organizations, which, as a rule, pursue some humanitarian goals such as environmental protection, civil society development, human rights protection, etc.

How to participate?

The website of the organizer of the summer school will indicate the requirements for participants and instructions for applying for participation. It is usually necessary to register on the website and fill out an online questionnaire, or download an application from the website and send it along with the accompanying documents to the specified email address.

The package of required documents, as a rule, includes a resume (CV), a motivation letter, a transcript and letters of recommendation. The rest of the list of documents may depend on the profile of the summer school.

Who pays?

Many organizers offer grants for participation in summer schools, which cover in whole or in part the registration fee, travel, housing and food costs. The conditions for granting grants are indicated on the organizer's website.
