The Virtual ISSYP is intended for students, teachers and anyone interested in learning more about the wonders of modern physics and the excitement of research and discovery at the frontiers of knowledge. This online opportunity provides a sample of the content from Perimeter Institute's popular two-week International Summer School for Young Physicists (ISSYP). While we can't host everyone who applies to the onsite summer camps here at PI, we can provide this selection of online content, opening up this fantastic learning experience for all to enjoy.
We invite you to explore the "Modern Physics" and "Frontier Physics" resources outlined below, which are based on sessions recorded at previous ISSYP camps.

Student Quotes
"I attended ISSYP 3 years ago and now my summer job is cosmology research! I give credit to this program for giving me the self-confidence to believe I could become a physicist and putting me on my current path."
"The ISSYP trip was a once in a lifetime experience that I am fortunate to have been a part of. It was great to meet so many other enthusiastic students interested in similar areas of science. The exposure to the academic program helped me channel my choices for university next year."
