27 December, 2022

CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) has issued a call for applications for two of its 2023 Summer Student capacity-building activities open to young scientists throughout the world from CERN Member States, Associate Member States and non-Member States.

The first, the Summer Student Programme, is CERN’s flagship project for students pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in physics, engineering, computer science, or mathematics which annually brings together at CERN students from some 70 countries to participate in lectures, projects, and other educational activities. Candidates should have completed, by the European Summer of 2023, at least three years of full-time studies at university level. Applications to take part in the 2023 programme are to reach CERN no later than 30 January 2023 at 12 noon (CET time).

The second, the Openlab Summer Student Programme, will allow students pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree with a strong computing profile who will have completed, by the European Summer of 2023, at least three years of full-time studies at university level, to work on an advanced IT project and follow IT lectures specially prepared for them by experts at CERN and other institutes. Visits to the accelerators and experimental areas also form part of the programme, along with visits to external companies. Applications to take part in the programme are to reach CERN no later than 30 January 2023 at 12 noon (CET time).

In both cases, applicants fulfilling the criteria for the activities are to be submit their applications to CERN online, here in the case of the Summer Student Programme and here in the case of the Openlab Summer Student Programme.
