> The summer school brings together graduate students, postdoctoral
> fellows and young faculty members from business schools, economics,
> mathematics and operations research with leading economists and
> mathematicians. It exposes students in business administration and
> economics to mathematical models and methods that they will find  
> useful
> in their research, and graduate students and young researchers in
> mathematics and operations research to new mathematical problems  
> arising
> from economic theory.
>
> The main focus of the summer school is a set of four courses, each
> taught by world leaders in the corresponding discipline. All  
> courses are
> accompanied by introductory tutorials and a series of seminar  
> presentations.
