CERN openlab Summer Student Lightning Talks (2/2)

Tuesday 18 Aug 2026, 12:55 → 19:55 Europe/Zurich

503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)

On Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th of August, the 2026 CERN openlab summer students will present their work at two dedicated public Lighting Talk sessions.

In a 5-minute presentation, each student will introduce the audience to their project, explain the technical challenges they have faced and describe the results of what they have been working on for the past two months.

It will be a great opportunity for the students to showcase the progress they have made so far and for the audience to be informed about various information-technology projects, the solutions that the students have come up with and the potential future challenges they have identified.

Please note 

• The event will  be accessible via webcast for an external audience (Please invite your university professors and other students)
