DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simone Donati (University of Pisa)\nSince 1984 the I
 talian groups of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and Ital
 ian Universities\, collaborating with the DOE laboratory of Fermilab (US) 
 have been running a two-month summer training program for Italian universi
 ty students. While in the first year the program involved only four physic
 s students of the University of Pisa\, in the following years it was exten
 ded to engineering students. This extension was very successful and the en
 gineering students have been since then extremely well accepted by the Fer
 milab Technical\, Accelerator and Scientific Computing Division groups. Ov
 er the many years of its existence\, this program has proven to be the mos
 t effective way to engage new students in Fermilab endeavors. Many student
 s have extended their collaboration with Fermilab with their Master Thesis
  and PhD.\nSince 2004 the program has been supported in part by DOE in the
  frame of an exchange agreement with INFN. An additional agreement for sha
 ring support for engineers of the School of Advanced Studies of S.Anna (SS
 SA) of Pisa was established in 2007 between SSSA and Fermilab. In the fram
 e of this program four SSSA students are supported each year. Over its 35 
 years of history\, the program has grown in scope and size and has involve
 d more than 500 Italian students from more than 20 Italian Universities\, 
 Since the program does not exclude appropriately selected non-italian stud
 ents\, a handful of students of European and non-European Universities wer
 e also accepted in the years. \nEach intern is supervised by a Fermilab Me
 ntor responsible for performing the training program. Training programs sp
 anned from Tevatron\, CMS\, Muon (g-2)\, Mu2e and SBN design and experimen
 tal data analysis\, development of particle detectors (silicon trackers\, 
 calorimeters\, drift chambers\, neutrino and dark matter detectors)\, desi
 gn of electronic and accelerator components\, development of infrastructur
 es and software for tera-data handling\, research on superconductive eleme
 nts and on accelerating cavities\, theory of particle accelerators.\nSince
  2010\, within an extended program supported by the Italian Space Agency a
 nd the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics\, a total of 30 students
  in physics\, astrophysics and engineering have been hosted for two months
  in summer at US space science Research Institutes and laboratories. \nIn 
 2015 the University of Pisa included these programs within its own educati
 onal programs. Accordingly\, Summer School students are enrolled at the Un
 iversity of Pisa for the duration of the internship and are identified and
  ensured as such. At the end of the internship the students are required t
 o write summary reports on their achievements. After positive evaluation b
 y a University Examining Board\, interns are acknowledged 6 ECTS credits f
 or their Diploma Supplement. \nInformation on student recruiting methods\,
  on training programs of recent years and on final student`s evaluation pr
 ocess at Fermilab and at the University of Pisa will be given in the prese
 ntation.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/6178/contributions/15772/
