Are you a technical student looking for
a unique experience in your field?
Do you want to be part of an inspiring
and international team?
Do you want to work at the largest
scientific institute in the world?
Come to CERN for an internship!
I wrote my profile paper ...
at Nikhef in Amsterdam, and ...
during my study I also did...
an excursion to CERN and ...
the environment was very inspiring ...
so it seemed exciting to come here.
You make an online profile and ...
then you look for projects ...
that you find interesting.
Next you can upload documents ...
of projects that you've done.
Relevant experience.

I investigate radiation damage in ...
materials; materials which have ...
a direct interaction with particles ...
in the particle accelerator ...
and that interaction causes ...
a change in the material.
Change of material properties ...
and ...
so I perform simulations that ...
calculate what those changes will ...
look like over a longer time period.
Besides this I also work as a volunteer;
I am an outreach guide; I have access ...
to various locations and ...
I can show people around
Through this I learn more ...
about the bigger picture ...
and also what the importance ...
of my work is in the bigger picture.
I also like to talk about what I do.
I have colleagues from ...
over the whole world and we ...
all have different backgrounds.
In that respect it is very interesting ...
to learn from each other's experience ...
and to talk ...
about the projects ...
we have done.
I've had several experiences working abroad.
I see around me a lot of people ...
who are here for the first time, ...
who are also abroad for the first time ...
and who find it very exciting ...
and also a lot of fun to ...
discover yourself and to build ...
a new social life.
This is a unique place considering ...
the people that work here.
The people working here are ...
experts in their field and it is ...
a very international environment.
You can develop yourself very much here.
You can learn a lot from your colleagues.
In the future I could easily ...
see myself working at CERN.
It depends on the project that ...
I am offered or the ...
responsibilities that I would get.
