The TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology organizes numerous summer schools. CIT professors are often participating in international summer and winter schools. This format offers significant added value both for students and for research: Students have the opportunity to establish international contacts during their studies and to develop solutions to global challenges in international working groups. The intensive exchange of ideas generates new and unconventional ideas beyond the students' own university.
At the same time, chairs can give interested students a more detailed insight into their research work and find out in which areas there is interest for a thesis or doctorate. In addition, summer and winter schools are an excellent way to initiate, deepen and further develop international collaborations and research groups.

Models, Statistics and Genetics: Understanding Epidemics
The Centre for Mathematical Sciences organized a Summer School in collaboration with two African universities: our flagship partner university KNUST in Ghana, and Moi University in Kenya. This Summer School provided an opportunity for young researchers and doctoral students from Africa and Europe to collaborate and deepen their understanding of the mathematical foundations of infectious disease modeling. The program aimed for workshops to cover topics ranging from fundamental principles to state-of-the-art modeling approaches. It enabled participants to identify current challenges and knowledge gaps, fostered networking among students and practitioners, and advanced the theory and practice of epidemiology, particularly by leveraging available genomic data. The Summer School brought together scientists from diverse fields to discuss and review recent developments in close interaction with young researchers.
