Dear Participants of TSSP 2020!

Because of the COVID-9 pandemic, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone TSSP 2020. Ensuring the safety of participants from around the world is priority, we feel we have no other choice and we have to change the date. All other conditions and rules of TSSP are still the same (see here).

If you have questions or would like further information about your participation, you can contact us by submitting email to Coordinator of the chosen Program.

In the meantime, stay healthy, stay safe, and stay positive.

With kind regards,

TSSP UMK Committee

Program

The main component of the summer program is active participation in the selected research project offered by the staff members of the Nicolaus Copernicus University.

Interested students are welcome to contact possible coordinators of the chosen program for more details concerning the foreseen projects and discuss the dates that the project could be undertaken.

This year's TSSP novelty is that the NCU student can join each project! The decision to join a student of our university is made individually by the trainee's tutor.

Apart from the projects, once a week, we will organise an invited lecture and a lunch or dinner for the entire group for each program. We will also offer short trips/sightseeing in the Toruń and Bydgoszcz area on selected weekends. All students will be asked to give 15-minute presentations about the results of their projects at the end of their stay in Toruń/ Bydgoszcz.
