The Princeton Summer School provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary quantum materials and their emergent properties in phases of strong electronic correlations or at the brink of phase transitions. 2024 was PSSCMP's 20th year (its inaugural year was 2005), and each year the program aims to foster knowledge exchange to explore the forefront of both theoretical and experimental methods in this rapidly evolving domain. The program is open to both Princeton and non-Princeton graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the sciences. Lectures are of pedagogical aim and the program organization is conducted primarily by Princeton graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Participants apply to present their research during a Poster Session. The 2024 summer school was a hybrid program with the in-person event (200 in-person registered) at Wolfensohn Hall, (IAS campus) and remote attendees participated via webinar (250 registrants).
