14 The Educational Programme Maria Girone, CERN openlab

Summer Student Programme 15 In 2015  applicants  40 selected students  14 lectures  Visits to external labs and companies  Lightning talks session  40 Technical reports In 2016  1480 applicants  35 proposed projects 40 Maria Girone, CERN openlab

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 16 Maria Girone, CERN openlab

CERN openlab Open Day  High-visibility public event to promote the activities and opportunities created by CERN openlab and its projects  2015 Edition: a kick-off event, traditional presentation-style format  2016 Edition: exhibition-style showcase event with a few selected keynotes and interactive, open booths and stands, demos, short focused technical talks, etc.  Format: June 8 th afternoon + June 9th Alberto Di Meglio – CERN openlab17

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 Industrial Members Projects 18
