International Summer Science School 2015 at HITS
Once again HITS welcomes two students in the framework of the International Summer Science School Heidelberg (ISH). The project allows young people from Heidelberg’s sister cities and partner organizations who are interested in natural sciences to get a practical insight into the laboratories of renowned research institutes here in Heidelberg. This year’s students that get to know the research HITS are Helly Hayoun and Yarden Hadar from Rehovot / Israel. Both girls are supervised by the HITS scientists Dr. Davide Mercadante from the Molecular Biomechanics (MBM) group and Antonia Stank from the Molecular and Cellular Modeling (MCM) group. During their three weeks´ stay at the institute the girls are learning basic skills in computational biology and experience the work and life of a scientist at an international research institute.

About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
