CERN openlab is a unique public-private partnership that accelerates the development of cutting-edge solutions for the worldwide LHC community and wider scientific research. Through CERN openlab, CERN collaborates with leading ICT companies and research institutes.

Over nine weeks (June-August 2016), the CERN openlab summer students will work with some of the latest hardware and software technologies, and see how advanced ICT solutions are used in high-energy physics. The students will also attend a series of lectures prepared for them by ICT experts at CERN, in addition to the main lecture series for CERN summer studentsVisits to the accelerators and experimental areas are included in the programme, as well as trips to other research laboratories and companies.

CERN is a place where dizzying ICT challenges abound. The CERN openlab Summer Student Programme may lead to follow-on projects in your home institute, or it may even inspire you to become an entrepreneur in cutting-edge ICT.

Apply by 28 February and open a world of possibilities!
