General Information for applicants

GSI, the German research centre for heavy-ion physics, is one of the world's leading accelerator laboratories for basic research with accelerated ions. In cooperation with an international research community the existing accelerator complex will be significantly extended by a new Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). The centre provide unique research opportunities for investigations in the fields of hadronic and nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, atomic, laser, and plasma physics, materials science, and biophysics with applications to cancer therapy, new accelerator developments and radiation safety. Detailed information about our research centre can be found on the GSI home-page.

Every summer GSI organises a Student Summer Program which is offered to a limited number of students in physics or related natural science disciplines from Europe or GSI/FAIR partner countries.

  • Scope: Each participant will join one of the research groups and work on a limited project during the program. As an introduction into the various branches of research and applications with heavy ions a series of lectures will be held.
  • Level: advanced undergraduate level (3 rd to 5 th year of study)
  • Duration: 8 weeks (around August -- September)
  • Number of Participants: about 35
  • Accommodation and Reimbursement: Free accommodation will be provided in a hotel close to GSI. A support towards travel expenses as well as a daily allowance will be covered by the institute.
Qualification: Applicants should have completed the 3rd year of study as well as courses in one of the following three fields: nuclear physics, high energy physics, or atomic physics by the beginning of the program.


>> The application procedure is closed. <<
>> It will be reopened between October 15 till January 31 for the program "summer 2011" <<

For further information also have a look at our previous programs.
