<p>ASPP2025: 17ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python Summer
School<br>
======================================================================</p>
<p><b>Application deadline: 23:59 UTC, Sunday 1 June, 2025</b></p>

<br>
Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and
debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently
have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them.
As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too
much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In
this course we will present a selection of advanced programming
techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry,
but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist.
Lectures are interactive and allow students to acquire direct
hands-on experience with the topics. Students will work in pairs
throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly
learned skills in a real programming project — an entertaining
computer game.<br>
<br>
We use the Python programming language for the entire course.
Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but
more importantly, it also works great in scientific simulations
and data analysis. Python is the standard tool for the programming
scientist due to clean language design, ease of extensibility, and
the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing
and data visualization.<br>
<br>
This school is targeted at PhD students, postdocs and more senior
researchers from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in
another language such as Java, JavaScript, C/C++, MATLAB, or R is
absolutely required. Basic knowledge of Python and git or another
version control system is assumed. Participants without any prior
experience with Python or git should work through the proposed
introductory material before the course.<br>
<br>
We care for diversity and inclusion, and strive for a welcoming
atmosphere to programming scientists of all levels. In particular,
we have focused on recruiting an international and gender-balanced
pool of students.<br>
