CERN Bootcamp

CERN BootCamp is an innovative and unique study concept for Master´s degree students. The focus of the studies is to solve demanding societal problems or challenges of the case companies by applying service design and design thinking methods and having a genuine human oriented, empathetic approach.

Multidisciplinary Master´s Studies

CERN BootCamp is an innovative study concept, which will be co-created together with CERN, universities and companies for each implementation. BootCamp provides a unique international learning experience to the group of Master’s degree students with multidisciplinary educational background. The focus of the studies is to solve societal problems or challenges of the case organizations by applying service design methods to have a genuinely people centered, empathetic approach. There will be max. 25 places available for the Bootcamp (max. 20 master’s degree students from Haaga-Helia, Laurea, Metropolia, 2-5 students from UH/HIP.)

Themes of the year 2019 are from the areas like:
• Social decision making and research data
• Climate change and the possibilities of AI, open data and research
• Refugees' integration in the host society
• Nature based solutions to support urban health and wellbeing

The selection of students will be made based on the students’ study achievements, completed credits, motivation to participate, interaction skills, and the information provided in the application form and group discussion. In addition, multidisciplinarity of the student group will be taken into account in the selection process.
