The Combustion Institute-Summer Schools (CI-SS) initiative provides interested parties, mainly graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, the opportunity to receive an intensive educational experience. Participants also meet world-leading scientists and work to build their own international network. The Combustion Institute, in cooperation with host organizations around the world, assemble CI-SS programs to harmonize and promote the global growth of combustion science and technologies.
CI-SS was established to promote scientific education that corresponds with the combustion-related needs of society. Programs can vary in duration, from a couple of days through a few weeks, based on educational goals. To preserve the freedom of scientific endeavors and encourage diversity, The Combustion Institute invites universities, sections, and other qualified organizations in multiple countries to host summer school programs in accordance with the defined policies.
The proven success of the CI-SS initiative continues to foster the next generation of combustion scientists. Reference the Events Calendar to find upcoming events. If your organization is interested in hosting a summer school program, download the application guidelines.
