Perimeter Institute will host a two-week undergraduate school from June 15-26, 2026. Participants will learn about cutting-edge topics in modern theoretical physics through courses and other special events such as presentations from researchers and panel discussions. The school will involve classes and independent work or study. Participants will also work on collaboratively solving problems in small groups or engaging in other active learning activities.
The summer school will have eight short courses. The lecturers are expected to include:
- Junwu Huang, Perimeter Institute, Particle Physics
- A.W. Peet, University of Toronto, Quantum Fields and Strings
- Valerio Faraoni, Bishop's University, Cosmology
- Stefanie Czischek, University of Ottawa, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Matter
- Karen Yeats, University of Waterloo, Combinatorics and Quantum Field Theory
- Étienne Lantagne-Hurtubise, Université de Sherbrooke, Quantum Matter
- Edward Wilson-Ewing, University of New Brunswick, Quantum Gravity
- Lucien Hardy, Perimeter Institute, Quantum Foundations
Events
The undergraduate summer school will also include a series of organized events, such as:
- An opening event
- A keynote lecture by Sara Seager of MIT on exoplanets
- Panel discussions and/or networking events on physics grad school and academic careers
- A closing event
