The International Summer School for Young Physicists
The ISSYP is an exciting and challenging two-week program for Canadian and international high school students with a keen interest in theoretical physics and who intend to pursue physics studies at the university level. The program super-charges potential "Einsteins" with:
Presentations by Perimeter Institute researchers on cutting edge theoretical physics: hot topics such as superstring theory, quantum computing and dark matter.
Opportunities to work with leading international theoretical physicists in small group mentoring sessions.
Mini-courses on modern physics designed to deepen their insights into Einstein's ideas and the quantum nature of our universe.
Hands-on labs, tours of neighbouring research facilities, and other exciting activities with like-minded students from around the globe.
Awareness of their own potential as potential future researchers in theoretical physics.
have a passion for and strong ability in physics and mathematics as reflected in high school course grades and extracurricular activities.
are currently in the final two years of secondary school (for Canadian students, this means Grades 11 or 12 high school or CEGEP) and have not yet begun full-time studies at a post-secondary institution.
intend to pursue studies in physics at the university level in the future.
