The University of Michigan will conduct an NSF/REU program during the summer of 2001 at CERN. CERN is the European Laboratory for Particle Physics and it straddles the border between Switzerland and France just outside Geneva. It is the foremost facility of its kind in the world, and the Michigan REU Site at CERN is designed to give ten U.S. science and engineering undergraduates the opportunity to participate in an international setting. This program will stress strong minority recruitment through direct contact with HBCU's and other REU programs as well as the deployment of state of the art web based achieving technologies to make the CERN summer lectures available to other U.S. REU sites. At CERN the U.S. students join a select group of international physics students and participate in a variety of educational and social activities. Although the US is not an official member state of CERN, the US students are treated exactly the same as member state students and they can enjoy the benefits of being a CERN Summer Student. Activities include: attending lectures by experts in a variety of fields in physics, engineering and computing; working with and learning from world-renowned physicists; collaborating on multi-national research projects including CMS and ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider. This unique opportunity not only allows the students to learn fundamental physics in a research environment, but it also gives them the benefit of working in an international setting.

密歇根大学将于2001年夏天在欧洲核子研究中心开展一个NSF/REU项目。CERN是欧洲粒子物理实验室，它横跨瑞士和法国之间的边界，就在日内瓦外面。它是世界上同类设施中最重要的，位于CERN的密歇根REU站点旨在为10名美国科学和工程本科生提供参与国际环境的机会。该计划将强调通过与HBCU和其他REU计划的直接联系，以及部署最先进的基于网络的实现技术，使CERN的夏季讲座能够提供给其他美国REU网站，从而强有力地招募少数族裔。在欧洲核子研究中心，美国学生加入一个由国际物理学学生组成的精选小组，参加各种教育和社会活动。虽然美国不是欧洲核子研究中心的正式成员国，但美国学生的待遇与成员国学生完全相同，他们可以享受作为欧洲核子研究中心暑期学生的好处。活动包括：参加物理、工程和计算机等各个领域专家的讲座；与世界著名物理学家合作并向其学习；合作进行多国研究项目，包括大型强子对撞机的CMS和ATLAS。这个独特的机会不仅可以让学生在研究环境中学习基础物理，而且还可以让他们在国际环境中工作。
