IMA Participating Institutions Graduate Student Summer Program
The IMA pioneered the Graduate
Student Summer Program
in 1990 and manages it for the IMA Participating
Institutions. Each year this
program brings together a selected group of mathematics
students from the IMA
Participating Institutions at one of the PI campuses for
intensive study in
a particular area. During the program, which typically lasts
two to four weeks,
lecture series are given on several related topics by senior
mathematicians.
The students live together in a dormitory and participate in
a social program
as well. Funding for the lecturers and student living
expenses, for up to two
students from each Participating Institution, are assumed by
the IMA. The goals
of this program are:
To expose graduate students to a selected set of exciting
topics.
To create interaction among students from different
institutions.
Students are nominated by their PI
department heads. The program
is generally addressed to students who have completed a full
year of genuine
graduate courses and with an interest in the general area of
the summer program,
but who usually have not yet narrowed down to a specific
research topic.
