We regret that we cannot accept students onto the Summer Students Programme who are not yet registered in a university or higher technical school. Students must have been studying in higher education for the last three years or more in order to be considered; students may also apply if they are graduating in the year they wish to participate in the Programme.

If you are not a national of a CERN Member State but you have been residing in a CERN Member State for the last 5 years and are enrolled in a Member State educational establishment, you may apply for the Summer Students Programme – Member States.

CERN offers two Summer Student Programmes, one for nationals of a CERN Member State and one for nationals of any State other than a CERN Member State. Please make sure that you apply for the correct programme.
