Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of game theory and/or related technical disciplines.

What is the cost of attending?

There will not be any registration fee for the event (summer school and workshop). Food (coffee breaks and lunch) and any additional activities will be covered by the organization. However, students are responsible for their travel and accommodation.

Should I participate in the workshop as well?

Yes, students are invited and expected to participate in the two-day workshop on July 23 and 24. Food and extra activities will also be covered during these two days.

Flash talks and poster session

Students are invited to present their work in a 3 minutes flash talk on July 23 (Thursday) during the workshop. The flash talk will be followed by a poster session during the lunch break. Participation in these sessions is not mandatory, but presenting students will receive priority in the summer school selection process. If a student presents, they must participate in both sessions (flash talk and poster), and a 1 page long abstract must be included in the application.  The best poster will be chosen.
