Summer School and Refresher Courses
Summer School
In January and February, IMPA offers activities for researchers and students from other institutions alongside the usual program.
Courses, mini-courses and seminars are given.
Improvement Programs
PAPMEM
The Programa de Aperfeiçoamento de Professores de Matemática do Ensino Médio - PAPMEM, created by Elon Lages Lima, a mathematician from Alagoas, aims to improve the training of high school mathematics teachers throughout Brazil.
PROLÍMPICO
The Olympic Teacher Improvement Program - PROLÍMPICO aims to spread the "Olympic culture" and offer proposals for classroom application to mathematics teachers and school administrators from all over Brazil.
Free Courses
People not enrolled in IMPA’s training programs can register as a free course student.
Registration is done through the online system and the courses are free, except for those offered in the evening.
IMPA’s postgraduate courses may, at the Institute’s discretion and according to technical availability, be offered remotely.
Whether or not free course students will be accepted in the remote subjects for each term will be decided by each teacher, who will also decide whether or not external students will be assessed as regular students. If they choose to differentiate between them, P or F grades will be assigned to free course students.
