  3. I. OVERVIEW Who works at CERN ?

  4. II. Student Programmes Summer Students 2014

  5. Summer Student Programme Participate in the day to day life of a research team and follow lectures. ~300 positions/year (150 for Member States and 150 for Non Member States) Fields physics (incl. particle physics) =2/3 of students engineering, computing Length 8 to 13 weeks, during the summer Eligibility 3 years of full-time studies at university level Features high-quality lecture programme visits and workshops living allowance accommodation at the CERN hostel Application & Selection Deadline January. Web selection by the supervisors, Offers in March “Can’t imagine a better way to spend my summer” Over 6000 young scientists have benefitted to date...

  6. 2015 Summer Student Programme • 988 Applications in total from our Member States • 13 from NL (3 engineers 10 Phycisists) • Universities: • Engineers: Twente, Radboud, Delft • Physicists: Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Radboud, • Quota NL: 9 • 5 (CERN) + 4 NIKHEF • Pre-selected 665 in total • NL preselected: all13 • Selection: 9 – 22 March • First students arrive on 8 June • Lecture Programme: 30.06.2015 – 07.08.2015

  7. Technical Student Programme For students looking for a practical training assignment or who would like to write their bachelor or masters thesis at CERN ~180 positions / year Fields Computing (50% of the students) Engineering physics (excl. theory and particle physics) Length 4 to 14 months for technical students Eligibility 18 months of technical undergraduate studies Features technical project with a CERN supervisor a living allowance Application & Selection 2 Committees : June and December “It’s a great place to start a career, it’s a great place to learn new skills, make new friends…”
