Waterloo, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - 100 of the brightest young
minds from over 30 countries across the world (see list below), have
earned positions at the prestigious International Summer School for
Young Physicists (ISSYP) at Canada's Perimeter Institute for

About Perimeter Institute

Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit research centre
where international scientists are clustering to push the limits of
our understanding of physical laws (just like Albert Einstein did
before them) by contemplating and calculating new ideas about the
very essence of space, time, matter and information. The Institute
also provides a wide array of educational outreach activities for
students and teachers from across Canada and around the world in
order to share the joys of research, discovery and innovation.
