Every year in August we organize the International Science Camp (ISC) for participants from all over the world. You choose three week-long courses and combine them into an extraordinary experience of science. English is the working language. The approaches and results are compiled at the end of each course week and presented to fellow students in a lecture.
On weekends and in the evenings we arrange a cultural and social program. Social contacts among students from different cultural backgrounds are as important as experimental work and scientific learning.
