AstroCamp is an academic programme in the field of astronomy and
physics,
stimulating curiosity and critical thinking, organised by the Centre for
Astrophysics of the University of Porto (CAUP) and supported by several
national and international partners, including ESO.

The 10th edition will be from 8 to 22 August 2021. The program is
intended
for students from 42 eligible countries, in one of their final three
years
of education before university.

Students will come together in a secluded and tranquil setting away from
the stresses of urban centres and take two courses consisting of daily
classes, assignments, and a final exam. Other highlights include:

- A computational project, enabling the students to learn high-level
scientific programming and work with data from the world's best
telescopes

- Observing the dark night skies with the naked eye and telescopes
(including the Perseids meteor shower)

- Skype chats with top astronomers and physicists from different
countries
and at different stages in their careers

- Social activities like hiking, sports, and film and documentary
sessions

Applications close on 30 April 2021. A motivation letter is required,
in addition to a recommendation letter and recent academic results.
Suggestions and guidelines for the contents of the application can be
found on the AstroCamp website. The shortlisted candidates, selected
according to their motivation and academic merit, will be invited
to an interview during the weekend of 29-30 May.

The successful candidates will be announced around 4 June and will need
to confirm attendance and complete the required paperwork by 13 June.
Additional information, including the full regulations and the
application
forms can be found on the camp website,
