Petnica Science Center is organizing the 6th Petnica International Summer Science School for undergraduate university students and students who have completed secondary school. PI seminar will be held from 2nd August to 15th August 2010 in the Petnica Science Center (Serbia, Valjevo, 44° 14’ 50’’ N & 19° 55’ 50’’ E).
Goals
If you are interested in studying different subject areas, Petnica International Summer School is ideal for you.
The aim of this program is to enable the young scientists to practice scientific research by working on their own research projects and communicate their results and ideas. Students will also have a chance to attend various theoretical lectures and laboratory exercises, learn how to use some important software packages and experience work in the field.
With a variety of subjects to offer, Petnica International gives you the opportunity to explore a range of topics and disciplines. You will attend daily lectures, and classroom sessions on a range of general topics. If you have a particular interest you may want to choose one of the possible projects that will be available soon at this page (for now you can see last year's abstracts).
Activities
You can combine different programs in order to build an individual schedule that meets your needs and interests: • Lectures: scientific modeling, evolutionary biology, psychology of perception, graph theory with applications, cosmology… • Working on multidisciplinary projects in: biochemistry, astrophysics, psycholinguistics, applied physics, linguistics. • Learning how to use various software packages. • Sport activities, excursions and social events.
