International Advanced Research Schools in Physics (IARS)


Download or see the 2012 poster here.


All IARS activities are designed for international participation and conducted in English (unless mentioned).
   
IARS schools take place in a highly interactive environment. In addition to in-class lectures, most programs are designed in a way to expose the participants to concrete hands-on training in supervised problem solving sessions closely related to current research problems of the topic studied. In most cases we allow and encourage young participants with strong applications to present their research results in short afternoon seminars. Those participants with accepted short presentations will also be considered for financial support partially covering the local expenses during their stay.

In all IARS activities the national participants' local expenses are covered by our state projects. For the fees applied to international participants please refer to the "Rates & Services" page. Travel expenses of the national and international participants cannot be supported in IARS activities.

Information about which activity is held at which ITAP campus is also included in the activities below as well as the updated ITAP Guide for Participants.

Details of the events as well as their web pages can be found below. Online applications are available here. Beware of the different deadlines for different programs.

  5. Astro ITAP ve ITAP Bilim ve Toplum Merkezi tarafından ortaklaşa düzenlenecek olan bu etkinliklerde, ilköğretim, orta öğretim okulları ve lisede çocukları bulunan aileler için fizik ve astronomi şenlikleri düzenlenecektir. Bu programlarda, günlük hayatımızda sıkça karşımıza çıkan birçok fizik yasasının, ucuz ve her evde bol bulunan malzemelerle yapılabilen merak uyandırıcı, eğlenceli, düşündürücü, yaratıcı bilimsel deneyler ve gösteriler ile tanıtılmasının yanında, teleskop ile güneş, ay ve derin uzay gözlemleri gibi aktif katılımlı astronomi etkinlikleri de bulunmaktadır. Festivaller çocukların yaşlarına göre lise ve öncesi olarak iki farklı seviyede planlanmaktadır. Masa başı deneyleri, ölçme ve model geliştirilmesi, sınıf içi gösterileri ve yarışmalar ile ailelerin programa aktif olarak katılmaları planlanmaktadır. Ailelerin, etkinlik dışında Turunç/Marmaris ve çevresinden yararlanmaya ayırabilecekleri günde ortalama 6 saat serbest zamanları olacaktır. Bu yıl devlet desteğimizin yeterli olmamasından ötürü, bir bağış sahibinden aldığımız destekle ücretleri bir miktar indirebiliyoruz. ITAP misafirhanesini kullanan ailelerden, veliler için 95 TL, çocuklar için 60 TL ücret alınması düşünülmektedir. Konaklamasız gündelik ücretler veliler için 75 TL ve çocuklar için 50 TL dir. Masraflar beş günlük etkinlik için toplam olarak alınacaktır. Bu ücrete konaklama, üç öğün yemek, ikramlar, eğitmen masrafları, ve deney malzeme masrafları dahildir. Başvuru ve diğer bilgiler için gerekli olan etkinlik internet sayfası ve posterleri yakında duyurulacaktır. 2012 Şenlik Programları ve Başvuruları

    Astro ITAP and ITAP Center for Science and Society, jointly organize in 2012 summer a number of physics and astronomy festivals for families with children. The families are expected to attend the festival where the fun and exciting side of physics and astronomy will be exposed with demonstrations of the laws of physics, observations on the sun, solar system and the deep-sky, tips for building table-top low cost creative experimental models, active involvement in simple fun experiments and exciting family competitions (We are determined to make the table-top science a typical family event). The participants are expected to cover their expenses during the activity. A daily fee of 95 TL for the parents and 60 TL for the children will be charged which includes accommodation, meals and all educational expenses. For those with outside of ITAP accommodation arrangements the daily fees are 75 TL and 50 TL respectively for parents and for children. The families will also have a free time for nearly 6 hours/day for discovering the environment in Turunç/Marmaris. More details in english on the project web page with online application forms will be announced later. 2012 Physics and Astronomy Festivals’ Programs and Applications
