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. The program will support 15 students recruited from large and small institutions across the US. The students will spend 8-9 weeks at CERN participating in research projects, attending a physics lecture series and interacting with European scientists and science students. The program orientation contains components designed to help them learn how to live in Geneva, instruction in computing, seminars on physics and ethics along with tours of the CERN experiments. It ends with a Saturday day trip to BERN to visit the small Einstein museum. The students will gather frequently to give talks about their research activities, learning about the protocols and techniques of physics presentations. 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. CERN is one of the top international Laboratories in the world. The students at CERN participate in the day-to-day experimental development associated with their research group, deepening their understanding of the relevant physics. They attend a lecture series organized by CERN and presented by top scientists in the area. The work that the students do is an important part of the ongoing physics at CERN, whether they work on an anti-matter experiment like ATRAP or ATHENA or work on detector design and construction for groups like ATLAS and CMS. Being in the international research atmosphere of CERN and working on cutting edge problems is an intellectual apprenticeship that produces a student who understands the nature of international scientific collaboration and is able to function effectively in a collaborative environment. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and the Office of International Science and Engineering.

密歇根大学物理系将在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核研究组织(CERN)管理一个本科生研究体验项目。该计划将支持从全美大大小小的院校招收的15名学生。这些学生将在欧洲核子研究中心度过8-9周的时间，参与研究项目，参加物理系列讲座，并与欧洲科学家和理科学生互动。该项目包括旨在帮助他们学习如何在日内瓦生活的内容，计算机教学，物理和伦理研讨会，以及欧洲核子研究中心的实验之旅。它以周六前往伯尔尼参观小型爱因斯坦博物馆而告终。学生们将经常聚集在一起，就他们的研究活动进行演讲，学习物理演示的规程和技术。每天，他们还与指定的导师一起解决当前的物理问题。CERN有一名现场协调员，协助学生处理与项目或个人需求有关的任何事务。每个学生都必须对自己的成就做一次最后的演讲，并参与项目评估。CERN是世界顶尖的国际实验室之一。CERN的学生参与了与他们的研究小组相关的日常实验开发，加深了他们对相关物理的理解。他们参加由欧洲核子研究中心组织并由该地区顶尖科学家主持的一系列讲座。学生们所做的工作是CERN正在进行的物理学的重要组成部分，无论他们是在ATRAP或雅典娜这样的反物质实验上工作，还是在ATLAS和CMS等小组的探测器设计和建造方面工作。身处CERN的国际研究氛围中并致力于前沿问题是一种智力学徒，培养的学生理解国际科学合作的本质，并能够在合作环境中有效地发挥作用。该奖项由物理系和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
