Physics students will be trained in particle physics in Fermilab Experiments, including Muon (g-2), Mu2e, MicroBooNE; Icarus, SBND, and Dune, and CMS, in detector development, optimization, commissioning and calibration, as well as data analysis.

Engineering students will be trained in the Fermilab Accelerator Division, Technical Division or Computing Division, or in groups working on applied research in other US Laboratories or Universities.

Each Intern will be supervised by one Mentor, an employee of the US Laboratory. The Mentor is responsible of the entire Training Program of the Intern for the 9 weeks of permanence on the US soil. Each intern will present a written report which will be object of evaluation by a University of Pisa committee.
