The Research and Development Section of the Swiss Scientific
Computing Centre (CSCS) has recently introduced a summer student
internship program
which focuses on 
research in parallel computational science.
The program involves approximately ten students (both
graduate and undergraduate) from around the world.

A week of lectures and exercises provides an introduction for students
to the parallel architectures used at CSCS and the software used to
program them.  Individual students are then given projects and
assigned advisors; the project work goes on for up to ten weeks.

Internship students are treated as active researchers at CSCS, and are
expected to participate in project meetings, and also to write a
technical report and give a presentation to the staff at CSCS when
their projects are completed.
