In December, you will go to IPP Prague for a two-week event. You will be assigned one or two partners and an experiment. This event is very hard, and also an incredible opportunity to really dig into interesting research on a great training tokamak. At the end of these two weeks you will give a talk (~10 minutes per person) and will be graded based off this talk. As far as we can tell, in previous years we have been graded by the current head of the program who will not be there during the two weeks but only for the grading event.
Over the next month, you will then be responsible for a written report of your research. The report is about 4 pages per person, and the grade will be merged with the one from your talk.
Practically, you will be staying in a hotel that is a 10 min walk from the Institute and has non-functioning internet.
Prague is cheap and you receive a generous food stipend. Enjoy eating out and drinking beer during every meal.
