A KutDiák, mint a Network of Youth Exellence tagja, idén nyáron is delegálhat fiatal tehetséges diákokat egy nemzetközi kutatótáborba, ahol lehetőségük van laboratóriumi munkákba bekapcsolódni, és különböző szemináriumokon részt venni.  

As a consequence of the generosity of Weizman Institute, member of the Network of Youth Excellence (www.nyex.info), KutDiak has the chance again to delegate a particularly motivated and bright student to the international science camp to be held in the summer in Israel. Feel free to contact olah.mate@kutdiak.hu if you were interested in the ISSI camp introduced below.

Age of Participants

The International Summer Science Institute is open to talented science-oriented students who will have just graduated from high school prior to the starting date.

Registration for the camp has not yet begun. The exact date will be announced at a later date

General Schedule for 2010

The 2010 camp will take place from July 5 to July 29, 2010. Participants will arrive on July 4.

Structure of the Program

• Three weeks are devoted to the laboratory scientific research.
•  During that period supplemental lectures delivered by senior Institute scientists, departmental talks and visits to some of the state of the art facilities on campus take place. Students themselves are strongly encouraged to prepare and lead seminars on subjects in which they have interest.
• Upon completion of laboratory work, participants give an oral presentation before an assembly of their peers and mentors. They also submit a written report.
• Then the group shifts to an altogether different scientific focal point - a field school in the Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea. The expert guides from the school lead hikes (at differing levels of intensity) to acquaint participants with the ecological, geographical, geological, zoological and archeological characteristics of the area.

Typical Daily Schedule

Here is an example of a how a typical day is spent:

•  07:00 Wakeup
• 07:45 to 08:30 Breakfast
•  08:30 to 13:00 Lab Projects
• 13:00 to 14:00 Lunch
• 14:00 to 17:00 Lab Projects
• 7:00 to 21:30 Dinner, Prep Time, Evening Programs, Free Time

Of course, the schedule also allows for free time, social activities, discussion groups and more. Emphasis is placed on participant involvement in planning events and programs. Students serve on the social, journal or sports committees. Tour to Jerusalem and the northern part of Israel are part of the itinerary, while optional trip to Eilat is also offered. The trip to Jerusalem is scheduled for the first weekend of the program in order to give the participants an introduction to the diverse culture and history of Israel. This is also an opportunity for everyone to become acquainted and build a sense of community. During free time, participants can enjoy the extensive recreational (including a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields) and library facilities on campus.

Location

• The first three weeks of the program are spent in the laboratories of the Institute.
•  In the fourth week the group visits a field school in the Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea.
