Dear Innovators’,

The theme of the school, the eligibility criteria, and the procedure for project submission are described here. The abstract template can be downloaded at this link.
Respect to the past editions, a video demonstrating your project is also requested!
Summer courses come in all kinds of different forms and degrees of complexity, so it’s a good idea to decide what exactly you are looking for before applying. If you are looking for an easier summer learning experience, pick a subject familiar to you and study it in greater depth. For a more challenging approach, choose a new subject or the one you have been struggling with during the past year. Take a single class and focus on it, in order to avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed by new information, try the best essay writing service for your projects.
Consider how many hours you want to spend in class every day. Generally, the average daily learning duration is 4 hours. Most programs last 1 to 4 weeks. Keep in mind that science modules usually require more contact hours than arts and humanities modules.
Some summer school classes require students to read additional materials before class, while others expect you to conduct extensive reading before the beginning of the course. Teachers suggest articles or book chapters to support classroom discussions. Brush up on your speed-reading and make sure you organise in advance. You may also have to prepare summaries, essays, short presentations, and so on.
Summer courses are shorter than regular academic modules, so teachers will focus on the most important aspects of a subject. This might make your work easier for language or art classes, but technical or science-oriented courses could get intense, as skipping stages makes it more difficult to follow the steps of a logical argument.
The submission deadline is August 31st 2016.
You are kindly invited to submit your projects!
