The ESO Summer Research Programme provides a unique opportunity to students not yet enrolled into a PhD programme, to carry out a 6-week long research project at the ESO Headquarters in Garching (Germany)*. This fully funded programme will allow the participants to choose between a wide range of research projects, covering many areas of astronomy from planet formation to cosmology. The ESO Summer Research Programme will also provide opportunities beyond research, including lectures, a mini-workshop, and social activities.
* The Summer Research Programme will be hosted in Garching if all accepted students are able to travel to ESO HQ. If the COVID-19 pandemic does not allow an in-person visit, the programme will be held virtually as it was done in 2020.

The Summer Research Programme at ESO is an exceptional opportunity for students to work inside an institute that is both the headquarters (HQ) of the most productive observatory in the world and a top-class research organisation. People at ESO’s HQ are active in research and are also designing and operating cutting-edge telescopes and their instruments, including: the VLT; ALMA; and the forthcoming ELT, which will be the world’s biggest optical-near infrared telescope.
If it is possible to host the programme in person, travel costs to/from Garching will be covered for participants of the programme. Accommodation will be provided, free of charge, in a shared apartment in Garching (with electricity, heating and internet included). Students will also receive a modest stipend to cover living costs during the programme.
Interested students should carefully read the eligibility criteria and application instructions before submitting their application through our online form. Further information is on our website: http://eso.org/summerresearch/ and any enquiries that are not answered in the FAQ section in the webpage should be sent via email to: summerr...@eso.org
