The European Summer Program on Rationality (ESPR)

The European Summer Program on Rationality (ESPR) is an immersive workshop for mathematically talented students with a desire to understand themselves and the world. The curriculum covers topics from game theory, cryptography, and mathematical logic, to AI safety, communication styles, and cognitive science. The goal is to help students hone rigorous, quantitative skills and acquire useful concepts and practical techniques.

The application process involves three stages: Stage 1 requires submitting an application form, which includes a task and open-ended questions. Stage 2 consists of approximately two hours of tasks. Successful applicants will then be invited for an online interview in Stage 3. Applicants are allowed to use large language models but must disclose which model was used and how.
