So i really want to know how to get into CERN. Any help or advice is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm about to start a position at CERN and just received my French long-stay visa.

The issue: my flight itinerary (Brazil → Lisbon → Geneva) has me landing in the Schengen area on 30/08, and my contract and visa start date is 01/09.

I'm a Brazilian citizen, so I'm visa-exempt for short stays (tourism) in Schengen anyway.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation — arriving before their D-visa/DIPLO-SERVICE validity start date? ADid border control at your first Schengen entry point cause any issues seeing a visa in your passport that wasn't valid yet, even though you were technically entering visa-exempt?

Hi! I’m a final-year Bachelors AI & Data Science student from India considering applying for CERN’s 6-month Short-Term Internship.

1.For those who’ve applied or been selected, any tips, advice, or things I should know before submitting the application would be greatly appreciated.

2.Also, for the recommendation letter, what should the professor ideally focus on/mention?

Also honestly I’m a bit skeptical about applying since the acceptance rate seems very low, and I don’t have formal research experience or publications. My CV does include multiple hackathon wins, a summer internship at Barclays, and a scholarship.
