This summer the world’s leading thinkers in exponentially growing technologies will gather at NASA Ames Research Center in the heart of Silicon Valley for ten weeks of hardcore discussions about how to change the future, and you’re more than welcome to join in.

The gathering, also known as Singularity University (a new academic institution co-founded by Ray Kurzwell, Peter Diamandis and Yahoo’s Salim Ismial) is allowing applications from anyone that wishes to join in on the discussions. But make sure that you’ve done your homework, among the studies that will be available are biotechnology, bio informatics, future studies and forecasting, nanotechnology, AI, robotics, cognitive computing and finance and entrepreneurship.

Kurzwell, Diamandis and Ismail are hoping that students will attend from all around the world, and that the program will result in the founding of new companies, the evolution of scientific and technological thinking, and even the solidification of professional and personal networks among the elite students and faculty.
