Applications to attend the School must include:
- A completed application form
- A letter of reference and ranking from the candidate's professor or supervisor
Please use this application form
Please read the conditions for participation and the guidelines given below before filling out the form.
The applications deadline is 16 May 2025
If necessary, use "N/A" for fields that are not applicable.
Conditions for Participation
The School is open to young physicists, preparing PhDs or equivalent in High-Energy Physics, with at least one year's experience working as experimentalists or phenomenologists. The number of students will be about 100, mostly from CERN Member States, but a few may come from other countries which are not members.
Guidelines
The application form for the 2025 European School of High-Energy Physics should be completed and sent as soon as possible. The application includes a 100-word summary of the student's current work that will be taken into consideration in the selection process.
The submission of the completed application form must be accompanied in parallel by a letter of reference from the student's professor or supervisor.
Applications without a reference letter will not be considered.
Please note we do not contact the supervisors for the reference letters; students must ask their supervisor to send the letter to Kate Ross, the Schools Administrator (physics.school@cern.ch) by 16 May 2025.
Please note that the letter of recommendation from the professor or supervisor should include a ranking of the candidate relative to other students in the HEP community at a similar stage in their careers.
The selection of the students will be made by members of the International Organizing Committee together with the Local Director. All applicants will be informed in June 2025 whether or not they have been selected.
