Applications are invited for the Summer Student Programme 2025 by Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Ukraine School. The application deadline is Jan 31, 2025!
The 2025 DESY-Ukraine School will be fully integrated into the DESY Summer Student program, offering students from Ukrainian universities the chance to gain hands-on research experience at the prestigious DESY laboratory.
What sets the DESY Ukraine School apart from the general DESY Summer Student program are two key differences:
Each summer DESY offers undergraduate students in physics or related disciplines (such as scientific computing and engineering) the opportunity to obtain first-hand research experience at a large international laboratory. Students are invited for an 8 week training period to experience research in one of the various fields pursued at DESY:
Selected candidates will join in the day-to-day work of research groups at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg or Zeuthen (close to Berlin). Research projects can be categorised into different types of activities: practical work on detectors or experimental equipment, physics data analysis, software development, theory and scientific computing. More details on the available activities can be found here.
The students will gain first-hand experience in independent research, collaborating with established scientists who are experts in their fields. While the research project will be the focus point, there will also be a series of lectures (given in English) tailored towards the key topics of DESY research.
Visits to the accelerators, experiments and computer centre are also part of the agenda.
An announcement poster is available here.
Applicants should have completed at least three years of full-time studies at university level in physics, related natural science disciplines or computing by the summer of 2025. Please be aware that the large majority of projects we offer are for physics students!
The main target audiences are students who are at the following two stages by summer 2025:
DESY has suspended all participation of Russian and Belarusian institutes in its scientific projects. Consequently, no applications from students enrolled at Russian or Belarussian universities are accepted regardless of their citizenship.
Please take note that all applicants should have a good working knowledge of English and some basic computing skills. The students are expected to participate during the full period of the 2025 programme, from July 22 until September 11.
