GSI Helmholtz International Student Program

The GSI Helmholtz centre for Heavy-Ion Research is one of the world’s leading laboratories for fundamental research using a heavy-ion accelerator facility with a linear accelerator UNILAC, a synchrotron SIS18 and a storage ring ESR. Over the next years the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will be constructed on the GSI premises adjacent to the existing complex. The centre provides unique research opportunities for investigations in the fields of nuclear and hadronic physics, atomic, laser and plasma physics, materials science and biophysics with applications in cancer therapy, as well as new accelerator developments and radiation safety.

Every summer the centre invites students in physics or related natural science disciplines from Europe or GSI/FAIR partner countries to participate in an International Student Program.

Scope: As the main task, each participant will work on a small research project in one of the research groups. A series of lectures will be held as an introduction to the various branches of research and applications using heavy ions. Free accommodation will be provided in guest rooms. Travel support as well as a daily allowance will be provided by GSI. Further details are given on the web page below.

Qualification: The program is intended for students at the undergraduate level, who have completed 3 years of study in their major discipline.

Applications should be submitted via the Internet. Applications and recommendations must reach us before January 31, 2010. The number of participants is limited to 35. The selection procedure will be completed by mid-March, 2010.

USC Research Forum 2010

The second of the biannual USC Research Forum will be held on February 20, 2010 at the Buttenbruch and Gansewinkel Halls, USC Main Campus, taking on the theme, Poverty and Development: Higher Education’s Challenges, Responses and Contribution. The forum is a series of presentations of research outputs by not only USC’s researchers but also of members of the USC CHED Zonal Research Center. A total of 28 research papers, with a wide range of topics, from philosophy, religion, education to economics, biodiversity, energy, to food technology and business and industry, will be presented in parallel sessions. Dr. Felino Lansingan, Professor of Environmental Statistics at UP-Los BaƱos, has been invited to give the keynote speech on a topic related to Climate Change in the Philippine context vis a vis higher education.

It will be the second time USC will be holding its research forum with the participation of CHED ZRC member institutions as presenters. The first one was held last year with the objective of providing a venue for researchers from the Zonal Center to exchange information about the latest in their research works and at the same time promote the spirit of camaraderie among the members.

Organized by the Office of Research and the CHED USC Zonal Research Center, the forum is open to the public.
