Yes totally! We do not assign groups by specialization but instead by interest level and level of compatibility (which is up for you to decide.) It's really fun to see people join groups and learn a whole pile of new mathematics. The project leaders are prepared to learn with participants and help guide those new to the topic toward their particular question.
RNT wishes to bring together a wide range of expertise. Groups have had people between undergraduate and graduate stages together with tenured or tenure-track faculty. The goal is to encourage collaboration across career stages.
So far, none of the groups have finished their work during the two weeks - that's not what we're looking for. We consider the two weeks to be a catalyst for long-term collaborations. Some groups have worked together for a year and others continue working on new ideas for several years.
