In light of the global evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, CERN has carefully reviewed the feasibility of running of its diverse student and trainee programmes, with the health and wellbeing of people at the heart of its preoccupations.
Following postponement of start dates for student and traineeships, CERN finally had to cancel the flagship CERN Summer Student and openlab Summer Student programmes.
This decision wasn’t taken lightly, and is based on the programme coordinators’ common conviction that maintaining a programme on site over summer is simply not responsible in the current context of the COVID-19 evolution on a global level, and would impact CERNs image negatively.
Variations such as a delayed, compressed and/or a fully remote programme were investigated but not considered a sufficient replacement to be branded and maintained under the label of CERN summer student programme – where the attractiveness and essence of the programme resides to a large extent in the physical presence on the CERN site and networking among students from all over the world. The teams have started to investigate alternatives we can offer the selected students.
We are clearly all very disappointed about this unfortunate development, and thank you all for your support and understanding.
Stay well,
Adriana, Eszter & Kristina for Summer Student Teams (MS, NMS & CERN openlab programmes)
