Announcement of CAMMP week 2026

The "CAMMP week", which is organized by the project CAMMP (Student Laboratory Mathematics / Project Simulated Worlds, KIT) in exchange with the student laboratory CAMMP (RWTH Aachen University), will take place next year from

14.06 - 19.06.2026

CAMMP week is a modelling week aimed at mathematically gifted and interested students. CAMMP week will take place at the Aschenhütte holiday home (youth education centre).
During CAMMP week, upper secondary school students work in teams to research questions from the practical world of business and research institutions using mathematical methods and computers. They will be supported by research assistants from KIT and RWTH Aachen University. 
At the end of the week, there will be a closing event at KIT Campus Nord in Karlsruhe, where participants will present their results to company and institute representatives as well as their parents and engage in discussion. You are cordially invited to attend.  

Parallel to the student activities, there will be a teacher training course for participating teachers in the field of "Mathematical Modelling with Students", which will be certified by the Teacher Training Centre at RWTH Aachen University.

Upon confirmation of participation in CAMMP week 2026, a contribution towards costs of €50.00 for students and €70.00 for teachers will be charged. This covers part of the costs for accommodation and full board at the youth hostel. The remaining costs will be covered by the organisers and sponsors. Students will be accommodated in shared rooms, teachers in double rooms. Travel and accommodation will be organised centrally by the organisers.
CAMMP week takes place in cooperation with the CAMMP student laboratory at RWTH Aachen University. On the Karlsruhe side, CAMMP week is largely supported by the Simulated Worlds project. 
If you have any questions, please contact us by email at cammp∂scc.kit.edu.

We look forward to receiving lots of applications!

Report of the CAMMPweek 2024

We look back on a successful CAMMP week 2024!
In collaboration with the CAMMP team from Aachen, our mathematical modelling week took place in Voeren, Belgium, from 23 to 28 June 2024. Forty students surpassed themselves and achieved excellent results.

"Overall, the week was characterised by a lot of fun, but also by reaching highs and overcoming lows. [...] In summary, CAMMP week is an enriching experience that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys working in this field. Many thanks to everyone who made this special time possible and for all the moments during the week when we were able to surpass ourselves."
Excerpt from a participant report. The detailed report of the week by Paula (participant) can be found HERE.
Another participant report by Ruben and Keyong can be found HERE. 
A big thank you also goes to the company representatives for providing and supervising the problems from their companies or research. Thanks also to the research assistants who supervised and supported the students throughout the week. Without you, this would not have been possible!

CAMMP week 2023

The CAMMP week 2023 was a great success! The students achieved excellent results. Thanks to everyone who helped realizing this event. 

Quote from a student from 2022: "I have to say it was a brilliant decision to apply to the CAMMP week. The 5 days were a unique experience. I not only gained experience and knowledge, but also made some friends and met a lot of great people. If you are reading this because you are wondering whether you should apply yourself, then I highly recommend you give it a try. You will not regret it!"

Report of the digital CAMMPweek 2021

This year's digital "CAMMP week powered by Bürgerstiftung" was once again a complete success!
A total of 40 students worked for a week on 7 different, complex research questions. Each of the 7 groups achieved a super result and impressed the respective company representatives at the virtual closing event. Congratulations to the participating students for their great results!

From the report of a student: "The week was characterized by the fact that we were able to find solutions to a complex mathematical problem with a lot of fun, perseverance and teamwork. Despite the great distance, we could experience to work together with people with whom we could grow together to a team within the CAMMP week, without knowing each other concretely before. Especially for gaining new experiences, in the field of programming, mathematics, lecturing or writing a scientific report, the participation in the CAMMP week is highly recommended, without hesitation I would participate again. Especially towards the end of school, it is also helpful to be able to concretize your personal future aspirations regarding your studies through detailed study information."

From the report of another student: "In summary, you can say that by participating in CAMMP week you gain a very good insight into true scientific work and studying itself, and at the end you are really proud of your real-world solutions.
