Newstext (de)	Imagine spending three weeks of your summer in the beautiful countryside – under some of the darkest skies in Europe – working with other young people from all over the world on an astronomical project of your choice. The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is a summer research camp which provides a unique international atmosphere for 16-24 year olds to study the Universe. Celebrating diversity is deeply embedded in the culture of the camp – we are dedicated to making the camp accessible to all, and we especially welcome applications from minorities in STEM. This year, in addition to our usual grant programme, the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation have provided funding specifically for German citizens and/or residents who are in need of support to attend. The IAYC is a place for cultural exchange, while learning to design and carry out your own small research project. Science is not about getting the right answer first time around, but about exploring questions and having opportunities to get things wrong – the IAYC is the perfect place to make mistakes and try again! By night you will have access to a number of different telescopes, whether you are a complete beginner or a savvy expert. By afternoon (the morning is for sleeping), you will be working together with other participants on your research project. The groups are led by young scientists and focus on a specific topic related to space and astronomy. There is something for everyone, from the ambitious student to the complete beginner (no previous knowledge of science or astronomy required!). This year the working groups are: EXPANSE – EXPloring AstroNomy for Sustainable dEvelopment LAME – Local Atmospheric Muons Experiment MESSY – Modelling Energy Systems SustainablY on exoplanets ODIN – Observing Distant Interstellar pheNomena SHINY – Stellar birtH and evolutIoN, Yay! SUS – SoUnds of the Stars T-REX – Training Robots to EXplore For more information, go to <https://iayc.org/nextcamp/> to apply (deadline 31st March, or 17th March for grant applications).
