  1. Programmes for Education & Career Development James Purvis Head of Recruitment, Programmes & Monitoring Group HR Department Serbia-CERN Event 23-24th May 2012

  2. Programmes • Fellows: young physicists and engineers (from junior engineers to post-doctoral research physicists) from member states, normally staying two years. • Graduate Engineering Training: Programme introduced in 2009 to leverage engineering training opportunities at CERN. • Scientific Associates: senior scientists spending at CERN up to one year. • Corresponding Associates: senior scientists from all but the largest four member states, spending at CERN up to six months. • Project Associates: physicists, engineers and technicians sent to CERN by their home institution for periods up to three years (five years for LHC completion). • Students: several sub-programmes, catering for different seniority levels (from undergraduates to Ph.D. candidates) and offering different durations (from 2-3 months for Summer Students, up to 3 years for Doctoral Students). • Special Programmes: externally-funded initiatives enabling additional researchers to participate in CERN programmes.
