CERN Studentships for International Students in Switzerland, 2015

Studentships in Summer 2015 (Non Member State Nationals)

Nationals of Romania and Serbia: please apply for the Member State programme
The CERN Summer Student Program offers undergraduate and junior post-graduate students of physics, computing and engineering a unique opportunity to join in the day-to-day work of research teams participating in experiments at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Beyond the outstanding first-class scientific value of their stay, the selected students will find working in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment an extremely enriching personal experience. It is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make valuable and long lasting contacts with other students and scientists from all over the World.
 
In addition to the work in the experimental teams, Summer Students attend a series of lectures specially prepared for them. Several scientists and engineers from around the world share their knowledge about a wide range of topics in the fields of theoretical and experimental particle physics, engineering and computing. Visits to the accelerators and experimental areas are also part of the Program, as well as discussion sessions, workshops and a poster session. Attendance requires a presence of 8 weeks on site and the possible dates of stay are the following:
 
8 June to 31 July
15 June to 07 August
22 June to 14 August
29 June to 21 August - in exceptional circumstances only
 
Information on the organised activities can be found on the Summer Student Info Page.
