Young physicists, mathematicians and philosophers shall meet for a one-week expedition lost between earth and sky at the boundary of the thinkable world. The goal of this summer-school is to share deep discussions about physics and its foundations in an open and creative way for an intense time of learning, reflection and enlightenment – and all in a joyful atmosphere. With up to 18 participants, l'Agape will see a partition between more in-depth courses given in the morning and creative activities in the afternoon.

Courses. The six 4-hour courses will each be held by participants who have volunteered to do so during the preparatory phases of l'agape.

Activities. The afternoons are free but the organisers have devised a host of different scientific activities to encourage discussion and deepen understanding. See the 'Activities' section on the left for some ideas.

Talks. Each participant will also hold a short 20-minute talk during the evening aperitif.

Extra Days. For this year, we are offering participants the opportunity to stay up until the 6^th of August. During these extra days, time will be completely free for discussions, walks, deepening the courses and anything else you wish to do.
