The courses are directed towards young graduates wishing to study mathematics at a graduate level.

The list of courses offered is attached. Each participant is required to choose two courses for a total of 10 hours a week of lectures in addition to problem sessions. Daily attendance is compulsory for participants. Although written tests will be given by the lecturers, no certification of proficiency will be issued.

Fifthteen SMI fellowships will be available to foreign participants to help cover their living expenses during the course. The fellowship holders will receive Euro 300 and will be paid lodging expenses in the Casa dello Studente. As a further contribution to the participants, text-books and lecture notes will be provided by the School.

In case extra funds will become available, a limited number of travel grants, partially covering travel expenses, might be awarded to foreign participants coming from foreign countries, who explicitly request them. Should travel grants become available, they will only be paid upon submission of original travel documents, and will never exceed Euro 600.

Applications should be sent by mail to the following address:
