This summer, the Zurich Research Laboratory launched
the Great Minds initiative. The program offers internships
at the Zurich Research Lab, the European branch of IBM
Research, for students from central and eastern Europe.
The initiative aims at promoting exceptional young
and skilled students in computer science by giving them
the unique opportunity to work alongside IBM researchers
in one of the world's premier industrial IT research
organizations.

Eligibility
The program is open to any full-time student enrolled
in a Master's program in computer
science at a recognized college or university
in central or eastern Europe. IBM is an equal-opportunity
employer and encourages applications from both genders
as well as minority groups, but students must have a
solid command of the English language.
IBM will pay the winners' travel expenses to and from
Zurich, as well as accommodations and a small internship
allowance.

Nomination procedure
Participants must be nominated by a faculty member,
and an IBM expert committee will review the nominations.
The top three candidates chosen by IBM at its discretion
will be invited to the Zurich lab for an internship.
IBM would especially like to encourage women to participate.
To apply for the Great Minds 2007 program, see the
detailed instructions.
Deadline for submissions is September 28, 2007.
