Alberto Di Meglio – CERN openlab11 The Educational Programme

Summer Student Program Alberto Di Meglio – CERN openlab12 In 2015  applicants  40 selected students  14 lectures  Visits to external labs and companies  Lightning talks session  Technical reports 40

Communication  Project activities and results are disseminated to a wide audience  Subject to agreement between all the participating members that it does not compromise legitimate academic or commercial interests  Press releases (must not imply endorsement of products by research labs etc.)  Visibility and presence of member companies on the website is proportional to membership level Alberto Di Meglio – CERN openlab13

CERN openlab Open Day  High-visibility public event to promote the activities and results of CERN openlab and its projects Press sessions Demos and interactive sessions Industry exhibition area  Each member is given visibility and seats according to their membership level Members can invite their partners/customers Visits to CERN installations (LHC, etc.) can be organised for participants CERN Capacity ~200 Alberto Di Meglio – CERN openlab14

Membership Benefits  Work in close collaboration with CERN experts on large-scale applications of technologies and products  Visibility in CERN openlab activities (proportional to the membership status)  Participation of openlab personnel at conferences and events to promote the technologies and results of the collaboration  Support for organizing visits to CERN installations, technical presentations and seminars about technologies and products  Activities of all Partner Members featured prominently in the openlab Annual Report  Summer students assigned to work on openlab Members projects  Three different levels of membership (Partner, Contributor, Associate) to adapt to different collaboration objectives Alberto Di Meglio – CERN openlab15
