• Participate in the renowned CERN Summer Student Lecture Program
   
• Join active researchers at CERN
   
• Receive stipend and travel reimbursement
   
• On-site coordinator from the University of Michigan

Program

Students selected for the program will spend from the first week of June to the first week of August working with active research groups at CERN, one of the world's premier international laboratories.

A good idea of the kinds of possible research projects students may be involved in can be gained from viewing student presentations from previous years.

CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, is the future site of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the birthplace of the World Wide Web.

Eligibility

Students must be registered at an accredited 4 year institution, have completed three years of University by the beginning of the program, and be a concentrator in physics, engineering, or computer science. Students who will graduate before the program begins are not eligible.

The program is open to U.S. Citizens and permanent residents. The program will be administered by the University of Michigan Department of Physics, with support from Ford Motor Company and the U.S. National Science Foundation
