  1. The Wolfgang-Gentner-Programmefor Technical Doctoral Students at CERN

  2. Education Programmes at CERN Summer Students (2 – 3 months, ~250 students each year) students in their 3rd/4th year, mainly physics, also computing and engineering sciences lectures + participation in a group at CERN (small project) Technical Students (6 – 12 months, presently 164 students) Diploma and Master students in technical sectors special programme for FH students from Baden-Württemberg Doctoral Students (2 – 3 months, presently 162 students) technical topics (no physics analysis of e.g. LHC data, no theory) German special programme (Wolfgang-Gentner-Programme) Fellows (2 – 3 years, presently 532 Fellows) Junior-Fellowships: technical grade required, no PhD needed Senior-Fellowships (Post-Doc): PhD required

  3. German Special Programme Spring 2007: CERN visit of State Secretary Meyer-Krahmer from BMBF (German Ministry for Education and Research) result of visit creation of “CERN Nutzungsinitiative” to support better usage of CERN by Germany new German special programme for technical Doctoral Students (Wolfgang-Gentner-Programme) is part of “CERN Nutzungsinitative” in addition to existing CERN Doctoral Student Programme (almost) identical conditions difference: funding (subsistence) by BMBF mid- and long term goals: better usage of CERN resources by Germany more German staff at CERN (long term), presently ~7.5% German staff Start: October 2007 after rise over 3 years about ~40 – 45 German Doctoral Students (out of ~160 total) Teil der CERN Nutzungsinitiative des BMBF 2007 Neues deutsches technisches Doktorandenprogramm am CERN (Wolfgang-Gentner-Stipendien) Zusatzprogramm zum existierenden CERN Doctoral Student Programme (fast) gleiche Bedingungen wie existiendes CERN Doktoranden-Programm Unterschied: Finazierung der Aufenthaltskosten am CERN durch BMBF Mittel-/langfristige Ziele: Bessere Nutzung der CERN Resourcen Erhöhung des Anteils an deutschen CERN-Mitarbeitern Start: Oktober 2007 Volumen: bis zu 2 Mill. Euro/Jahr ausreichend für bis zu ca. 20 Doktoranden pro Jahr bei 2 – 3 Jahren Aufenthaltsdauer = nach 3 Jahren ca. 50 – 60 zusätzliche deutsche Doktoranden am CERN Anfangsziel: 10 Doktoranden im ersten Jahr des Gentner-Programms

  5. Topics and Contact Persons

  6. Renewal of Gentner Contract First contract from 2007 has finished 31 December 2011 New contract BMBF – CERN – DESY started 1 January 2012 runs until December 2014, then annually extended until December 2017 main changes funding of up to 13 new students per year = 39 students over 3 years presently, on average ~37 students in the Programme candidates from all EU countries eligible to apply first contract restricted to German candidates only full 3 years (36 months) granted was initially 30 months + 6 months extension on request unchanged candidates need to be enrolled at a German University travel reimbursements on same level as before other conditions do not change
