Our mission is to increase diversity and we encourage students from under-represented groups to apply. As the summer school will be hosted virtually attendance has been extended and new participants from African Institutions will be selected based on the submitted application documents.

In addition, please provide specific forms of evidence in your materials of the following:

• Prior relevant research in any of the topic areas of the summer school OR in related areas
