Gene Golub SIAM Summer School

The summer school, founded by SIAM as the result of a generous bequest of former SIAM President Gene Golub, offers schooling in applied mathematics, computational science, and industrial mathematics, primarily for graduate students in mathematics and computer science.

2026 School

The 2026 Gene Golub SIAM Summer School will take place at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

Registration closes March 1, 2026.

Topic

Fault-Tolerant Algorithms in Quantum Computing

Dates

July 27 – August 7, 2026

The idea of a summer school for graduate students from around the world is the perfect way to honor Gene’s memory. It is exactly the kind of activity that Gene loved to promote.

2027 School

SIAM is calling for Letters of Intent proposing topics and organizers for the 2027 Gene Golub SIAM Summer School (G2S3). Letters of Intent in all areas of applied and computational mathematics will be considered. A small number of those who submitted Letters of Intent will be invited to submit full proposals.
