The main speakers are

teaching a 4 hours lecture course each,
and there will be additional short spotlight lectures.

There are 21 places available with funding, i.e. accommodation and meal allowance.
Up to 13 additional participants are possible, provided they find (and pay for) their own accommodation.
Even before official registration at the IML is open, we invite applications! Please include

  1.  a short CV and informal statement on why you wish to attend and what you hope to get out of the school and
  2.  a short recommendation from a supervisor.

Potential participants who wish to apply for financial support are asked to outline their needs in their application letter. Our resources are however quite limited.   As part of this summer school format we particularly encourage female candidates to apply!
