A maximum of 60 students will be selected on the basis of their curriculum, references from their professors/supervisors, and individual letters of motivation. Microsoft Research will provide teaching and full accommodation for free; students will only need to pay for their own travel to Saint Petersburg and return. We encourage all qualified individuals to apply to the school. Last year, 70 students were selected from more than 500 applicants.
