The Stieltjes Institute organizes one or two educational weeks each semester.

The intended audience consists of advanced students and starting PhD students enrolled in Dutch universities.
The aim of the Stieltjes Institute's educational weeks is to promote the

a critical mass that individual institutes often lack.
