openlab's Summer Student Programme 2010

About CERN openlab

CERN openlab is a framework for evaluating and integrating cutting-edge IT technologies or services in partnership with industry, focusing on future versions of the WLCG.
Through close collaboration with leading industrial partners, CERN acquires early access to technology that is still years from general computing market. In return, CERN offers expertise and highly demanding computing environment for pushing new technologies to their limits and provides a neutral ground for carrying out advanced R&D with various partners.

This initiative has been organised into successive three-year phases. In openlab-I (2003–2005) the focus was on the development of an advanced prototype called opencluster, and openlab-II (2006–2008) addressed a range of domains from platforms, databases and interoperability to security and networking. We are now in the third phase – openlab-III (2009–2011) – which is not only capitalizing on and extending the successful work carried out in openlab-II, but is also tackling new crucial areas.

Shortlisted applications, mostly from public sector employees, are endorsed for a scholarship by the partner government. Employees from civil society or private sector organisations may apply for the NZDS-Public in some countries depending on country-specific selection criteria. The levels and fields of study available for study in New Zealand are determined according to the partner country’s human resource development training needs.
