2026 Diversity in Research Experiences Across Mathematics (DREAMs) Institute

Participants will be introduced to four foundational areas of mathematics by guest lecturers during the first week and then work on inquiry based projects with the support of the lecturers and graduate teaching assistants.

One of the DREAMs Institute’s primary goals is to help students envision a career in mathematics or STEM more broadly. We recognize that STEM fields continue to not represent the racial and gender diversity of Canadian society and we are committed to supporting students with minoritized identities in this program as they prepare to begin their University education. We strongly encourage students from underrepresented groups to apply to this program.

Cost
There is no cost to participate in the DREAMs Institute, but we do expect participants to commit to attending for the full duration of the program.

Eligibility
Participants should be in their last two years of high school studies with a strong grasp of high school mathematics.
