NOTE on Coronavirus/Covid-19:

The approach followed by the TOMidEast organising committee is to prioritise and guarantee the safety of all participants and Faculty members. In recognition of the evolving global health situation, the Organising Committee has decided that the 2023 edition of the TOMidEast Summer School will be delivered entirely in presence, allowing some students with particular exigencies, to participate online on the CISCO Webex platform. The School will be held from the 26th to the 30th of June.
