      Student-organization interaction period 20m

      CERN-HSF has been accepted by Google in the GSoC 2019 program! Most of the project proposals have already been published in the CERN-HSF website and therefore students are starting to contact mentors.

      Thus, we are now in the student-organization interaction period (Feb. 26 – Mar. 25), when mentors are supposed to:

      • Evaluate their students by means of coding exercises. The objective is to verify that the student has the required skills for the proposed work and to find out which student/s are strong candidates for the project. See attachment for an exercise example.

      • Be responsive when students contact them. This is a template that you can use to answer to prospective candidates for your project.

      • Sign up at:
        * The GSoC website (invitations have been sent, please contact us if you have not received it).
        * The CERN-HSF Google group
        Please note that signing up does not guarantee a student!

      • Coding period (May 27 – Sep 2)
