Located
just outside Geneva, 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)
has just started and is expected to generate some 15 million gigabytes of
data per year.
More than ever, CERN will be a
particularly thrilling place 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
have R&D activities on:
- Computer Server Platforms and Related Software
- Large Scale Databases
- Automation and Controls Software
- Cloud Computing
- Wireless Networks Research
By joining the CERN openlab 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 have the opportunity to
attend a special series of lectures given by CERN IT
experts on advanced CERN-related topics and to visit
the laboratory facilities and experiments.
The CERN
openlab 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.
