Prticipation & Schedule:
A summer camp has several sub-topics each of which is discussed by a group of 5-6 summer camp participants of different backgrounds and universities. The participants can make requests for the sub-topics they would like to join at the time of application for the camp, but the final decision is made by the Summer Camp Secretariat.

A few of the groups carry the discussions in English, although it also depends on the year. The groups can make site visits and invite lecturers who are experts for the sub-topics. The interim presentations on the 2nd day are followed by the final presentations on the final day. A review panel selects the Best Prize, Outstanding Prize, and Student Award.
