During summer, CERN turns into one of the most international and lively places you could ever imagine as hundrends of Summer Students arrive every year from all over the world. Students with different backgrounds spend a few weeks working with their supervisors on numerous topics in scientific research. These are young scientists with an incredible amount of talent, intelligence and full of energy.

Reflecting this unique experience is not an easy task. However, following last year's experience we decided to give it a try and create a world map of 2014 PH Summer Students*. Explore this interactive map and meet this year's summer students.

We feel indebted to Sharon Lynne Hobson and Natalia Trajdos for their kind support in this project. Moreover, we would like to thank Vasilis Nicolaou for his support in developing this map.

Many thanks to all the students who shared their experiences and their photos and kindly participated in this project.

*Students are placed on the map based on the locations of their universities. The map shows only students enrolled in the PH department. You need to enable javascript in order to view this map correctly. We put an effort into achieving the maximum accuracy possible according to the coordinates of their universities. However this hasn't been always possible due to certain limitations. Thank you for your understanding and we will keep working to fix any remaining issues.
