High school students conduct research in teams with the help of mathematical methods and the use of computers on research questions from companies and university institutes. Some examples are the following problems:

•  How do solar power plants have to be designed in order to become competitive? (TSK Flagsol)
•  How can robots be controlled in space travel that are to take soil samples? (Enceladus Explorer Initiative, DLR)
•  How can the bus routes of your city be optimized so that the bus finally arrives on time? (IVU Traffic Technologies AG)
•  How can optimal bone implants be developed for accident victims? (University Hospital RWTH Aachen)

Each group receives an individual task, which it researches within the five days. A scientist will always supervise them. During the week there will also be a supporting programme with a sporting competition, a barbecue evening and other leisure activities, as well as an information event for students. The student teams present their results to the company representatives at the end of the week at a representative closing event in Aachen or Karlsruhe.

More information about the procedure of the weeks and the times when they will take place can be found on the pages of the locations in Aachen  and Karlsruhe  locations.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

The CAMMP week will take place this year from 01.06. - 06.06.2025 in Voeren, Belgien. 

At the end of the week, the student teams present their results to the companies - or university representatives - at a closing event. Representatives of the school, parents and friends are also invited. A second closing event will take place in Karlsruhe at KIT for the students and their family and friends from Baden-Württemberg. 

CAMMP week 2024

We look back on a successful CAMMP week 2024! 

In cooperation with the CAMMP team from Aachen, our mathematical modeling week took place in Voeren, Belgium, from 23-28.06.2024. 40 students went above and beyond and achieved excellent results. 

 “Overall, the week was characterized by a lot of fun, but also by reaching highs and overcoming lows. [...] In summary, the CAMMP-week was an enriching experience that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys working in this field, and I would like to thank everyone who made this special time possible and for all the moments during the week in which we were able to surpass ourselves.”
Excerpt from a participation report.

A big thank you also to the company representatives for providing and supporting the problems from their company or their research. Thanks also to the research assistants who supervised and supported the students throughout the week. This would not have been possible without you!
