European Mensa Science Camp
What happens when curious and creative young people from all over Europe spend a week together? At EMSC 2027 you can find out – and be part of it.
Bring your own ideas, combine them with other people’s and give them real shape in an international team. Here you’ll find people who share interests you may have been pursuing on your own at home. Our common language will be English; our common goal will be to create something.
Summer camp for students of age from 12.
EMSC through participants’ eyes
“EMSC brings together a completely different crowd. It gives you far more chances to find like-minded people you’d rarely come across in everyday life.”
— Daniel, United Kingdom
“I met lots of new people, got to go somewhere with more people and saw the world outside. I liked that the bar is set high and you can find out how you measure up against others.”
— Saisha, Bahrain
“I liked the activities and the people. Next time I’d like to choose robotics or school as my project.”
— Eloise, France
Programme
- Team project – in your application, you’ll list the topics that interest you. We’ll form project teams based on participants’ interests and what the camp can offer. The project will leave room for your own ideas, and at the end you’ll present the results together.
- 3D printers, laptops, measuring instruments, mBot robots, Raspberry Pi with sensors and a lot of other equipment will be available for the project work
- Lectures and workshops
- Games focused on strategy, reasoning and logic, teambuilding, trips and free time

What we expect from you?
EMSC is made by people who want to discover and create things together. That’s why we expect every participant to work actively on their team project and to take part in the compulsory parts of the shared programme.
The application form, including the full camp rules, can be downloaded from the website. Before submitting it, participants accept the rules; for minors, a parent or legal guardian must also confirm them.
Applications and selection
EMSC has room for about 70 participants. Admission depends mainly on your motivation, your interest in the project and your willingness to work in a team, not just on when you applied. We’re not looking for fully fledged scientists or perfect English.
In your application, tell us what interests you, what you do and which topics you’d like to work on. You’ll also attach a short video (max. 90 seconds) introducing yourself in English.
We review applications on a rolling basis. After you apply, we’ll invite you to a short online interview. We want to get to know you, talk about your expectations and find out whether EMSC is the right choice for you.
If it turns out that your expectations, or how ready you are to take part in the programme, don’t match what the camp is about, we’ll tell you straight away. We’ll let you know the outcome of your application by email.
Prices
We’ll accept applications in several terms.
