If you are a Bachelor or Master student with high interest in computer science or IT and searching for summer paid internship then this an amazing opportunity for you to join "ERN Openlab Summer Student Programme" for 9 weeks in Geneva, Switzerland. This programme is funded by CERN and available for all the international students from all over the world.
About CERN
the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
About CERN Openlab Summer Student Programme
CERN openlab summer students will work on an advanced IT project over two full months, or nine weeks (June-August 2024). They will also attend a series of IT lectures that have been expressly prepared for them by CERN and other institutes' experts.

At the conclusion of your visit, a brief report and a presentation of your work and project at CERN will be required.
