  2. High-School Students Internship Programme - Objective https://hssip.web.cern.ch • In a close collaboration with its member states, CERN invites high-school students (aged 16-19) to come to CERN for two weeks, to gain practical experience in science, technology, and innovation. It focuses on giving students the chance to discover STEM in the CERN context and environment, strengthening their understanding of science, and developing their skills in a high-tech environment. • This programme is a unique opportunity for high-school students to be introduced to CERN, its technologies and physics, as well as to learn through workshops and by shadowing, observing, and working with a member of personnel.  • hands-on opportunity in an international research laboratory • instilling scientific curiosity • motivating high-school students to take on a career in science, engineering, or another subject related to fundamental research

  3. HSSIP at a Glance • Five/six countries per year • Up to 24 high-school students (16 years+) • Two accompanying teachers • One national coordinator in the country and one at CERN • 12 supervisors • Two weeks internship at CERN • The students have the chance to gain practical experience in science, technology, and innovation.

  4. HSSIP In 2017 – pilot with 5 countries Hungary: 21 May – 03 June Portugal: 03 – 16 September Bulgaria: 03 – 16 September Norway: 15 – 28 October France: 22 October – 03 Nov 2018 Czech Republic 27 May - 9 June 2018 Israel 14-25 October 2018 Poland 4-17 November 2018 Sweden 10-23 June2018 The Netherlands 29 April – 11 May 2018

  5. Selected Programmes/Countries • 2019 • Slovakia (15/9 - 28/9) • Finland (6/10 - 19/10) • Spain (Sunday 29/9 – Saturday 12/10) • Austria (20/10 – 2/11) • Germany • 2020 • Belgium • Denmark • Greece • Italy • Romania • Switzerland

  6. Requirements • Students • up to 24 high-school students from all over your country • age 16 years+ (students must be enrolled in high-school) • selection process • overseen by CERN • but executed within the country • must be fair and transparent • Accompanying Teachers • two accompanying teachers • experience with school trips • alumni from teacher programmes • one female & one male • one emergency stand-by replacement (could be a user?) • travel with the students and stay with them at the hostel • run the social programme

  7. National Coordinators • in the country • liaison to country representatives • addressing relevant national regulations, • advertisement of the programme, • selection of date for the internship • owns and supervises selection process (students & teachers) in the country • organises (group-) travel for the students & teachers • coordinates administrative actions with participants • at CERN • “recruitment” of 12 supervisors • recommended: 1 additional fall-back option and related projects • assisting with the frame programme • link to the HSSIP team • finding guides • speaking the national language • for the scheduled visits • first point of contact for the students & teachers during the two weeks internship at CERN

  8. HSSIP Spain programme - Stakeholders • National coordinator Francisco Barradas • Accompanying teachers x 2 • Students x 24 • Admin support for organization • Student selection process • CERN coordinator Mar Capeans (CERN) • 12 CERN supervisors • HSSIP team

  9. HSSIP Team • overall coordination of the programme • organisational tasks • website • hostel • registration • access • visits • social programme • emergency contact during the programme • Contact: HSSIP-Admin@cern.ch

  10. Budget • Up to 500 CHF / person for travel • Hostel rooms (double rooms for students, single rooms for teachers) • 36 CHF daily meal allowance / person (in vouchers/credit card) • Programme Dinner (traditionally cheese fondue) • 2 weeks pass for public transport in Geneva • Gift bag for each student & teacher Students do not handle cash!

  11. Typical Programme Sunday(week 0)- arrival and welcome Monday(week 1)- introduction to CERN, safety courses, formalities- start at the workplace Tuesday-Friday(week 1)- daytime: work at the designated workplace - evening: social programme or free time Weekend(week 1)- social programme or free time Monday-Thursday(week 2)- daytime: work at the designated workplace- evening: social programme or free time Friday(week 2)- presentations of their work and achievements Saturday(week 2)- departure 80% hands-on

  14. Feedback from participants • Changed my view of “what scientists do” • Impressed by the international, collaborative work • Relation between science / particle physics and other disciplines more clear now • Importance of computing knowledge ➔ new high-school student ambassadors for CERN!

  15. Spain programme – Additional information to help defining the scope of work ahead • Cost for Spain = 0 • Selection and trip organization done by Spain • Cost of trips will be fully reimbursed by CERN (note on insurance costs) • When again? • First round of the HSSIP programme running for all member states • If second round done (not confirmed), the programme would come back to each country after 4-5 years • The total size of the group is 26 people, nominally 24 students+2 teachers. • In some countries, 1 teacher is needed per 10 students. This means the programme runs with 23 students + 3 teachers

  16. Spain programme – TO DO LIST • Define Students Selection process in Spain • The process shall be fair and free (e.g. the pool of candidates have not been selected out of a program where they had to pay to get in) • HSSIP team likes competitions to select the best, complemented with spontaneous applications (2-5) to attract ‘less obvious’ candidates (not a rule, but a plus) • Candidates representing geographical and gender diversity (not a rule, but a plus) • Students (>16y) have to be enrolled in the school when they participate in HSSIP 2019. This means that 18/19 cannot be their final school year • CERN needs to be informed of the selection process chosen asap • Admin timeline, CERN needs: • 1 month before school the names of students and 2 teachers • 2 weeks before school the registration documents received at CERN

  17. Spain programme Looking forward to work with all of you! Mar Capeans mar.capeans@cern.ch + 41 75 411 4590
