ESO Summer Research Programme group photo

The ESO Summer Research students pose for a photo at the Supernova Planetarium with their project supervisors. This is the first year ESO has run the programme and it proved to be a very rewarding and successful experience for both the fellows and their students. The programme was an opportunity for university students interested in astronomy/astrophysics, who were not yet enrolled in a PhD programme to obtain research experience alongside ESO astronomers at the ESO Headquarters (HQ) in Garching, Germany. The students were selected from ESO Member State countries, Strategic Partners (Australia) and Host States (Chile).
