The Department of Physics of the University of Michigan will administer a Research Experience for Undergraduates program at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. This Laboratory is home of the world wide web and a leading high energy physics center, viewed by many as the world's premier international scientific laboratory. Approximately nine students will be competitively recruited nationally to participate in the program. They will spend an orientation week at the University of Michigan prior to their journey to Geneva. During that week they will take computing courses, and hear lectures on CERN, high energy physics and research ethics. During their period at CERN they attend daily lectures given by experts in areas such as physics, cosmology and computing. Each day they also work with assigned mentors on current physics problems. An onsite Coordinator is present at CERN to assist the students with any matters related to program or personal needs. Each student must give a final talk on their accomplishments and participate in the program evaluation.

密歇根大学物理系将在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）管理本科生研究经验项目。这个实验室是万维网的所在地，也是一个领先的高能物理中心，被许多人视为世界上首屈一指的国际科学实验室。 大约9名学生将在全国范围内竞争性地招募参加该项目。在前往日内瓦之前，他们将在密歇根大学度过一个迎新周。在那一周里，他们将学习计算机课程，并听取有关欧洲核子研究中心、高能物理和研究伦理的讲座。在CERN期间，他们每天都要参加物理学、宇宙学和计算等领域专家的讲座。每天他们还与指定的导师一起研究当前的物理问题。CERN有一名现场协调员，协助学生处理与项目或个人需求相关的任何事宜。每个学生都必须就他们的成就做最后的演讲，并参加项目评估。
