1. Opportunity for
International Students
All budding Einsteins age 16 to 17 are encouraged to apply
before Tuesday, April 17, 2007 to take part in the
International Summer School for Young Physicists (ISSYP) at
Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. This
summer science camp challenges international students with
some of the most fascinating ideas about how our universe
works – from the weird quantum world of atoms to black
holes, warped spacetime and the expanding universe. The
classes, small group mentoring sessions, lab tours and
social events include instruction from the top,
international scientists at Perimeter Institute for
Theoretical Physics – including researchers from France,
Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, U.K., Australia, and beyond.
Full details are available in the attached general
information page and application form. A synopsis of the
details include:
a. Opportunity for about 50 international students with a
keen interest in science to take part
b. Two sessions at Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada on the following dates:
1. Friday, July
27 to Wednesday, August 8
2. Tuesday,
August 14 to Sunday, August 26
c. All expenses in Canada are covered by the Perimeter
Institute.
d. Deadline for applications is Tuesday, April 17, 2007 –
full details are attached.
2. Opportunity for
International Teachers
Due to demand, Perimeter Institute’s Einstein Plus Teachers’
Workshop on Modern Physics for teachers is expanding this
year from a national to an international program. In
addition, 3 one-week sessions will be offered. Einstein
Plus is an intensive workshop for high school teachers that
focus on a number of key areas of modern physics,
incorporating sessions on innovative teaching strategies
suitable for all areas of physics; modern or otherwise. Of
particular benefit are sessions on classroom tested
materials, and the opportunity to learn about some of the
latest developments in theoretical physics from Perimeter
Institute researchers at the forefront of their fields. Full
details are available in the general information page and
application form. A synopsis of the details include:
a. Opportunity for approximately 50 international teachers
with an interest in teaching science
b. Three sessions at Perimeter Institute in Waterloo,
Ontario, Canada
1. Monday, July
2 to Saturday, July 7
2. Monday, July
9 to Saturday, July 14
3. Monday, July
16 to Saturday, July 21
c. All expenses in Canada are covered by the Perimeter
Institute.
d. Deadline for applications is Thursday, April 12, 2007 –
