FAQs

Most spots will be allocated to graduate students and postdocs. However, a limited number of spots will be held for full-time researchers and faculty at academic and not-for-profit institutions, as well as industry and other professionals.

Applicants are only able to apply for both DLSS and RLSS.

DLRLSS will use a scoring system to select the majority of participants. Decisions will be made stochastically, and applicants with a higher score have a higher probability of being accepted. The scoring system favours applicants who are graduate students and whose research areas are closer to the scope of the summer school. It also favours applicants who are from a Canadian university, an under-represented group, contribute to a research blog or an open-source project, those who have not attended the schools before, as well as students from research labs affiliated with the CIFAR program on Learning in Machines and Brains.
