CERN Fully Funded Summer Scholarships for High School Students and Teachers in Switzerland, 2018

Sponsored Links

­CERN is delighted to announce its fully funded several residential programmes to high school students and teachers to study in Geneva, Switzerland. Students from all around the world are eligible.

These summer programmes offer the unique chance to explore the fascinating world of particle physics through lectures, on-site visits, hands-on workshops, and ample opportunities to interact with CERN’s scientific community.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact and provide insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
