Summer Schools

WASP Graduate School arranges a summer school every year, one Community Building Summer School for new-comers and one or two for students in the second grade (and above). The format is normally Monday to Friday one week in August. The Community Building Summer School gives an introduction to WASP research. The other summer schools are often thematic, and the program varies from year to year. Typically lectures are mixed with teamwork and exercises.
