CERN Bootcamp

Multidisciplinary Master´s Studies

CERN Bootcamp is an innovative study concept, which is implemented together with CERN Ideasquare, universities and ATTRACT project. Bootcamp provides a unique international learning experience to the group of Master’s degree students with multidisciplinary educational background. The focus of the studies is to solve societal problems or challenges by applying service design methods to have a genuinely people centered, empathetic approach.  

There will be 24 places available for the Bootcamp

• 21 master’s degree students from Haaga-Helia/Laurea/Metropolia
• 3 students from Universities of Helsinki/Aalto/Jyväskylä/Lappeenranta-Lahti/Tampere

The selection of students will be made based on the students’ study achievements, phase of studies, motivation to participate, interaction skills, and the information provided in the application form and group discussion. In addition, multidisciplinarity of the student group will be taken into account in the selection process.

The students develop solutions to the global challenges linked with these goals with inspirations from and design of application opportunities of cutting-edge technologies developed in ATTRACT program. Three from these SDGs are selected for student challenges based on their popularity among the applicants.
