MSRI Summer Graduate School The MSRI Summer Graduate School convenes annually in Berkeley, California, bringing together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty to study advanced topics in mathematics. The program features intensive courses, problem sessions, and seminars led by leading mathematicians from institutions worldwide. It connects participants with ongoing research at institutes and universities, fostering collaborations across fields and institutions.
The Summer Graduate School is hosted by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at its Berkeley campus near University of California, Berkeley, and often interfaces with researchers from Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, École Normale Supérieure, ETH Zurich, Institute for Advanced Study, Perimeter Institute, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, CNRS, Weizmann Institute of Science, University of Chicago, Columbia University, Yale University, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Michigan, University of California, Los Angeles, New York University, Imperial College London, University of Tokyo, Seoul National University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore, Australian National University, University of Melbourne, ETH Zurich Institute, MPI Bonn, Sorbonne University, Heidelberg University, Brown University, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Northwestern University, Rice University, University of Washington, University of British Columbia, McMaster University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Texas at Austin, University of Minnesota, Georgia Institute of Technology, Indiana University Bloomington, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Rutgers University, University of Maryland, College Park, University of California, San Diego, University of Southern California, University of Notre Dame, Vanderbilt University, Carnegie Mellon University, Florida State University, Ohio State University.
Courses typically span four weeks with daily lectures, problem sessions, and research talks. Curriculum topics range across algebraic geometry, analytic number theory, representation theory, topology, differential geometry, probability, mathematical physics, combinatorics, and logic, attracting lecturers from Andrew Wiles, Terence Tao, Ngô Bảo Châu, Manjul Bhargava, Cédric Villani, Maryam Mirzakhani (posthumous recognition), Edward Witten, Avi Wigderson, Timothy Gowers, Jean-Pierre Serre, Pierre Deligne, Michael Atiyah, Isaac Newton (historical references), Leonhard Euler (historical references), Carl Friedrich Gauss (historical references), Bernhard Riemann (historical references), David Hilbert (historical references), Élie Cartan, Alexander Grothendieck, Michael Freedman, Grigori Perelman, Shing-Tung Yau, John Milnor, John Nash, Paul Erdős, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Emmy Noether, Sophus Lie, Niels Henrik Abel, Évariste Galois, G.

McMullen, William Thurston, Terence Tao Institute.
Admission is competitive, with selection based on academic record, letters of recommendation, research interests, and fit with the summer topic. Applicants typically come from graduate programs at Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich, École Polytechnique, Sorbonne University, University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, Columbia University, Yale University, University of Toronto, McGill University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore, Seoul National University, University of Tokyo, Australian National University, University of Melbourne, University of British Columbia, University of Michigan, University of Texas at Austin, University of Washington, New York University, Imperial College London, Brown University, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University.
Lecturers are leading researchers, drawn from award winners and major institutions such as recipients of the Fields Medal, Abel Prize, Clay Research Award, Wolf Prize, MacArthur Fellowship, Breakthrough Prize, Turing Award (cross-disciplinary), National Medal of Science, Royal Society Fellowship, American Mathematical Society Fellowship, Simons Investigator, and honorees like Jean-Pierre Serre, Pierre Deligne, Edward Witten, Terence Tao, Manjul Bhargava, Ngô Bảo Châu, Cédric Villani, Shing-Tung Yau, Maryam Mirzakhani (honored), Grigori Perelman, Michael Atiyah, Gerd Faltings, Curtis T. McMullen, Edmund Landau (historical reference), John von Neumann, Norbert Wiener, Paul Cohen, Alexander Grothendieck (historical), André Weil (historical), Srinivasa Ramanujan (historical), Emmy Noether (historical).
The program traces roots to MSRI initiatives in the late 20th century and expanded alongside collaborations with universities and research organizations. Significant milestones include curricular expansions informed by conferences at Institute for Advanced Study, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, Perimeter Institute, Max Planck Society, CNRS, Simons Foundation, National Science Foundation, European Research Council, Royal Society, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, NSF CAREER-related programs, and partnerships with University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University. The Summer Graduate School evolved through contributions from mathematicians associated with Princeton University, Harvard University, ETH Zurich, École Normale Supérieure, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, University of Chicago.
Alumni have gone on to positions at leading institutions and have contributed to major results and collaborations, including work related to the Langlands program, Poincaré conjecture resolution, advances in mirror symmetry, developments in random matrix theory, progress in additive combinatorics, breakthroughs tied to moduli spaces, innovations in knot theory, and cross-disciplinary influence in mathematical physics. Graduates have held faculty appointments at Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich, Institute for Advanced Study, Perimeter Institute, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Weizmann Institute of Science, University of Chicago, Columbia University, Yale University, New York University, University of Toronto, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore, Seoul National University.
The Summer Graduate School is supported by funding and fellowships from organizations such as the National Science Foundation, Simons Foundation, Clay Mathematics Institute, European Research Council, NSF, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Ford Foundation (historical philanthropy), Guggenheim Foundation, Kavli Foundation, and institutional support from University of California, Berkeley and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Participants often receive travel grants, housing stipends, and honoraria coordinated with academic calendars of institutions like Princeton University, Harvard University, Stanford University, ETH Zurich, University of Cambridge.
