## Summary

PROMYS Europe is a six-week intensive summer programme for mathematically ambitious secondary school students from across Europe. Based at Wadham College and the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford, the programme focuses on number theory and mathematical exploration.

Students work through challenging problem sets, attend daily lectures, and engage in mathematical discussions with peers, counsellors (undergraduate mathematicians), and faculty. The Programme encourages deep, independent mathematical thinking rather than competition.

Key features:
- Daily Number Theory lectures and problem sets
- Guest lectures from leading mathematicians
- Research projects for returning students
- Supportive community of peers and mentors
- Full residential experience at Wadham College, Oxford
