This program trains students in particle physics and technology at Fermilab, showing successful international collaboration.

The aim is to provide an overview of a 40-year summer training program for students in particle physics and technology at Fermilab.
Program initiated in 1983 with Master students from Italian universities.
Supervision by Fermilab mentors during a 2-month internship.
Collaboration on projects like Tevatron, CMS, and DUNE design.
Involvement of over 600 students and credit recognition by the University of Pisa.
Internship activities include data analysis, detector development, and quantum computing.
Program paused during 2020-2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed in 2022.
From 2022 to 2024, 60 students participated in the training program at Fermilab.
Interns earn 6 ECTS credits from the University of Pisa after positive evaluation.
