August 7-12, 2018
Saarbruecken, Germany

Applications are requested from undergraduate students or Master's students in computer science, computer engineering, or a related discipline to The Cornell, Maryland, Max Planck Pre-doctoral Research School. The second of this new annual series of week-long schools will focus on emerging trends in computer science, including software-defined networking, practical formal methods, computational economics and machine learning, systems and network algorithmics, security and privacy, and natural language processing. Leading researchers will engage with attendees in their areas of expertise.
The curriculum will include lectures, projects, and interaction with faculty from participating institutions.

The small, select group of attendees will be exposed to state-of-the-art research in computer science, have the opportunity to interact one-on-one with internationally leading scientists from three of the foremost academic institutions in research and higher learning in the US and in Europe, and network with like-minded students. They will get a sense of what it is like to pursue an academic or industrial research career in computer science and have a head start when applying for graduate school.

For full consideration, applications should be received by February 7, 2018. Travel and accommodation will be covered for accepted students.
