The exact mathematics content of the Summer School Programme will be announced in the coming weeks and will include 8 modules in pure and/or applied mathematics and will challenge participants with advanced level mathematics learning, mathematical projects, mathematics communication practice and mathematical debates between student participants.

The Organizing Committee will select 15 school student participants from Cyprus to join a larger group already selected from abroad. 

Main target: Students of grades 8 and 9 in school year 2024-2025 who exhibit high interest and ability in mathematics and are considering careers in mathematics.

2. Half-page maximum (100 words) personal statement and motivation letter;
3. Approval by parents/guardian, if selected;
4. Confirmation that participant will make its own arrangements to transfer to the School Venue, that is Rodon Mount Hotel in Agros.
