CERN openlab Summer Student Programme – CERN
The Summer Student Programme is more than summer work. It’s the chance to join CERN in Geneva – getting involved in the day-to-day work of their multicultural teams. You will be able to work on an advanced IT project, attend lectures, visit CERN facilities, take part in discussions and workshops with people who are leaders in their fields. In fact, it will be a summer like nowhere else on Earth!
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
