APPLY: Summer Programme for International Students at CERN in 2022 |
Summer students at the CERN openlab will work on an advanced IT project and attend a series of IT courses designed just for them by professionals from CERN and other institutes.
Physicists and engineers at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, are studying the universe's underlying structure.
They explore the fundamental elements of matter — fundamental particles that smash at close to the speed of light – using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments. The technique reveals how particles interact and provides insight into the underlying rules of nature to physicists.
