Institute of Advanced Study Princeton Summer Program

The Undergraduate Summer School (USS) at the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) offers undergraduate mathematics majors and recent graduates an intensive research experience in mathematics. Participants engage in a three-week residential program featuring a lecture series on cutting-edge topics in a multidisciplinary environment with graduate students, postdocs, researchers, and faculty from parallel PCMI programs. The 2026 session ran June 28-July 18, 2026, with a research topic of Knotted Surfaces in Four-Manifolds; the 2027 session is confirmed for June 27-July 17, 2027 (research topic: Patterns, Primes and Dynamics), with full application details to be published by 1 November 2026.
