Perimeter Institute Physics

ISSYP is a highly selective, exciting and challenging two-week program for Canadian and international high school students in grades 11-12 with a keen interest in theoretical physics who intend to pursue physics at the university level. Students at ISSYP will attend presentations by Perimeter Institute researchers on hot topics in physics include superstring theory, quantum computing and dark matter and will have opportunities to work with international theoretical physicists in small group mentoring sessions. Students live in university residences.
