DESY welcomes 100 global students this summer

11 September 2025
Insight into cutting-edge research at DESY's branches as well as career guidance for next generation

Around 100 students from 33 different countries are gaining insight into cutting-edge research at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron's (DESY) branches in Hamburg and Zeuthen. Large numbers of students especially from Ukraine, Spain and Italy are working on research projects, attending lectures, touring the campus, enjoying cultural interaction and sightseeing until September 11, 2025. The group consists of 48 women and 52 men, 86 of whom are based in Hamburg and 14 in Zeuthen.  

Support, research and networking

The course targets students of physics and related disciplines. They work on their own projects and deepen their knowledge of e.g., accelerator technology, (astro) particle physics or photon research. Research at DESY becomes a hands-on experience. Students can also avail of career guidance at the Pier and Data Science in Hamburg - Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter (DASHH) graduate schools.
