CP³-Genius Program
We launch a novel initiative meant to allow the brightest young minds, at the bachelor and high school level, to join the research activities at our centre.
Here is the way it works:
For Bachelor Students:
If you are enrolled as a bachelor student in physics at the University of Southern Denmark, and you think you are not challenged enough, you have top grades and are burning for understanding the fundamental laws of the universe, you are perfect for the genius program.
You will:
- Keep following your standard bachelor curriculum in physics and, at the same time, you will be able to join the advanced research programs at our centre.
- Be part of a mini unit consisting of a graduate student (master and/or PhD student), an experienced researcher (typically a postdoc), and a staff member.
- Be assigned a research topic on which you will have to report regularly and possibly do research work on it.
- Be able to acquire the required skills ranging from the use of supercomputers, advanced theoretical physics concepts and mathematics in order to address the challenging problems you will encounter.
For High School Students:
If you think you have a lot of energy and have excellent grades in mathematics and physics, we will be very happy to host you for one or two days at our centre.
Here you will be assigned to a mini unit like the one above and will be able to learn about some of the basic topics in cosmology, high energy physics and more generally learning about the fundamental laws of the universe and why they must be amended to explain yet the many open questions in cosmology and particle physics.
We will not accept more than five bachelor students per year and will consider very few high school students for this program. You will have to keep an average of around 10 in science to be able to enter the program.
For High School Teachers:
We will be happy to have you and your classes visiting our new centre of excellence and get up-to-date information about the fundamental laws of the universe. You will learn about the latest news from the Large Hadron Collider experiment at the European Centre of Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. We will let you know also about the latest news on dark matter and energy obtained via cosmological observations. We will introduce in lay terms new theories and ideas which might help solve some of the fundamental puzzles posed by nature.
