A typical edition of the summer school is one week long and is usually
held between July and
September (exceptions possible). Previous editions of the school
attracted between 30-60
students. The program consists of 10-15 tutorials (you should form a
scientific committee to
decide on the scientific program). Lunch and coffee breaks should be
provided by the local
organizers. The aim is to keep registration, travel and accommodation
costs low. A social
event is usually also part of the summer school.

- What would be possible dates for the summer school?
- How do you plan to advertise the summer school?
- A tentative registration fee, estimate of costs and break-even of the event.
- Why would you/your group be a good host for the summer school?
- Will your host institution support the school, e.g. by providing
free/cheap lecture rooms?
- What are the benefits of the location (costs, reachability,
attractiveness for students,
  social event,...)?
 (Note: We try to keep the registration costs low, therefore please
provide information about
  international accessibility of the location and availability of
cheap accommodation and travel costs)

Potential surplus will be split in a ratio of 25%:75% between the
local organisers and EURAMAS.
