Simons Science School in Mathematics
STEM education and the training of future scientists, innovators, and high-tech entrepreneurs play a key role in Ukraine's future recovery. The Ukrainian education system excels at identifying gifted youths and at nurturing them in a highly-developed culture of science olympiads and research competitions. This experience should be studied and supported at the highest level, recognizing it as a national asset. Collaborative projects in STEM education between Ukraine and the EU will be to everyone's benefit and promote Ukraine's further integration into the EU.
The Simons Science School in Mathematics is a one-week program for Ukrainian high school students who have excelled at science competitions in mathematics and computer science. The goal is to foster the students’ interest in science, to introduce them to potential research careers, and to inspire them to apply their talents to shape Ukraine’s future. During their week in Vienna, participants will engage with leading mathematicians of the University of Vienna and the Institute of Science and Technology Austria.
The participants of the Simons Science School in Mathematics are recruited from two of Ukraine’s most successful science high schools: the Ukrainian Physics and Mathematics Lyceum in Kyiv and Boiko Super Math in Kharkiv.
