Located
just outside Geneva and straddling the border
between Switzerland
and
France, CERN is the world’s leading particle physics
research institute.
CERN explores what matter is made of
and what holds it together by accelerating protons to
a fraction under the speed of light and then
smashing them together. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
will start generating some 15 million gigabytes of
data per year this summer.
Through close collaboration with
leading industrial partners, CERN acquires early
access to technology well before it reaches the
general computing market. CERN openlab is the
framework for evaluating and integrating
cutting-edge IT technologies and services. Together
with our partners, HP, Intel, Oracle and Siemens, we
are working on:
- Computer Server Platforms and Related Software
- Relational Databases
- Network Monitoring Software
- Automation and Controls Software
- Grid Middleware
By joining the CERN openlab's student programme, you
will work with some of the latest hardware and
software technologies and see
how advanced IT solutions are used in high Energy
Physics.
You will also become acquainted with
other key technologies for industrial and commercial
purposes, through external visits and special
invited talks.
The CERN openlab's
student programme is much more than just a summer at
CERN. It can lead to follow-on projects in your home
institute at bachelors, masters or Ph.D. level. It
may even inspire you to become an entrepreneur
in
cutting-edge computing technologies.
Open up your mind…and
apply.
