About

The Indian Summer School on Cellular Automata was started in 2021 as a virtual internship program to train young cellular automata enthusiasts from multi-disciplinary domains on the theory and applications of cellular automata. Four previous versions of the summer school, 2021 , 2022 , 2023 and 2024 have been successfully completed. This free internship programme which lasts for almost two months, is rigorously research based and follows strict evaluation criteria.

The guidelines for Indian Summer School on Cellular Automata 2025

  • The UG/PG/PhD students or such degree holders but not employed can attend.
  • A PhD student needs to submit a consent letter from the supervisor and the supervisor has to agree to co-mentor his/her project in this Summer School.
  • The decision of the School, regarding selection of participants in all phases of the programme, is accepted to be final.
  • The duration of this online Summer School is two months. Its starting date is May 19, 2025.
  • The Summer School is conducted in two phases.
First phase
  • Its duration is one month.
  • A series of lecture sessions are organized in this phase.
  • The participants have to respond to all the assignments given during the lecture sessions.
  • At the end of this phase, participants have to appear for a written test.
  • Only qualifying participants are eligible for the second phase.

Second phase

  • This module contains research-oriented project works supervised by the Mentors. Each eligible participant has to complete the project work (as a team) within one month time, in association with the assigned Mentor.
  • There is weekly evaluation of the project work.
  • At the end of the second phase (July, 2025), participants have to submit the write-up on the progress of their project work as well as to appear for online oral presentation. Each such participant is awarded a participation certificate.
  • The Summer School ends at this point.
Internship
  • Participants with significant contribution in their projects can pursue the research work with their respective mentors to get a final shape of the work. This may require involvement of additional four months.
  • Only after completion of the project and submission of the outcome as a research article, a candidate can get the internship completion certificate subject to endorsement from the mentor.
