All students of age 17-20 (regardless of type of school they attend or their nationality) are eligible for PI 2007. Main criteria for admission are motivation for out-of-school learning and demonstrated interest in science. School grades are important, but they are not a discriminative factor. Open-mindedness and readiness for intensive work are much more important. Students that want to apply for this program should complete student application form, write a personal statement and provide two letters of recommendation.

Program fee including the course, accommodation and meals, admittance to recreation center and excursions is €500. There are no application fees.
