The goal of this summer school is to introduce the participants to motivic integration and some of its applications. It is mainly aimed at PhD students and Postdocs who do work in an area around algebra and/or geometry, but who have not yet had any prior contact to this motivic integration. There will be three minicoures, which will explain the necessary tools and background material, give down-to-earth motivation and examples, and which will end with some interesting applications. In addition, there will be around ten one-hour talks about current research related to motivic integration. The summer school is part of the program of the DGF-funded research training group.
