DESY welcomes more than 100 summer students from 32 nations
Eight weeks of top-research in theory and practice at the Hamburg and Zeuthen institutes
They come from five continents: within the next eight weeks, more than 100 students from more than 30 countries will gain research experience at DESY in Hamburg and Zeuthen. The practical work in various projects of accelerator, particle and astroparticle physics and in research with X-ray radiation is accompanied by a comprehensive lecture programme for the guests. “Another very important factor is the exchange among the students,” says Olaf Behnke who organises the DESY Summer Student Programme.

The DESY Summer Student Programme is very popular among the applicants, not only because of the opportunity to obtain practical experience in genuine research projects but also because of its internationality. This year, more than 500 students applied for the programme; 112 were invited to participate in Hamburg or Zeuthen.
Not only the participants benefit from the Summer Student Programme; according to Behnke, this is also true for DESY. “For the students who join the summer school this is often an unforgettable experience which may influence their future career. At the same time, DESY comes into early contact with active young scientists”, Behnke emphasises. Moreover, the students often contribute to the project with inspiring proposals.
