Opportunity Description

European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is now accepting Open-lab Summer Student Program applications. The European Open-lab Summer Program consists of lectures about the fellows’ advanced Information Technology (IT) project. CERN’s computing experts will prepare and deliver these lectures. In addition to lessons, fellows will tour the accelerator, experimental areas, and trips to exterior companies as part of this top-tier, fully-paid European Program. This Program helps students to develop public relations and a concrete solid foundation for their future careers and practical lives. CERN is devoted to instilling the most significant knowledge in students. Therefore, participants must compile report projects and give a presentation after the Open-lab Summer Program.
