Twenty-four international students will join 23 U.S. students here later this month for Lucent Technologies' (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : LU) fifth annual Global Science Scholars Summit. The 47 students, winners of the Lucent Global Science Scholars Program, will gather July 25 at the company's world headquarters for a week of activities and projects, including meetings with two Nobel Laureates Winners of the Nobel Prize are scientists, writers and peacemakers who have been awarded in their field of endeavour, and who are known collectively as either Nobel laureates or Nobel Prize winners. , Bell Labs scientists and senior Lucent executives. The Global Science Scholars Program is an annual academic competition for students who demonstrate excellence in the sciences and plan to pursue a career in information and communications technologies Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry . In addition to attending the summit, the winning scholars also receive a scholarship and, where possible, a paid Lucent internship internship /in·tern·ship/ (in´tern-ship) the position or term of service of an intern in a hospital. internship, n the course work or practicum conducted in a professional dental clinic. in their country the year following their selection.

The Lucent Foundation announced the U.S.-based Global Science Scholars on May 1. Among the honorees are students who have received a Presidential Recognition award in the Philippines, achieved success in many international math and science competitions, such as the Brazilian Math and Physics Olympics, and tutored their peers in math and physics. During the week, the students will meet with Nobel Prize Nobel Prize, award given for outstanding achievement in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, peace, or literature. The awards were established by the will of Alfred Nobel, who left a fund to provide annual prizes in the five areas listed above. winning scientists Horst Stormer Stormer may refer to:

" explosion that gave birth to the universe billions of years ago. The students also will have an opportunity to meet with senior Lucent executives, and will work alongside Bell Labs scientists conducting research into areas such as silicon micromachines and plastic electronics. Based on their investigations, students will prepare presentations outlining their own observations and findings. "I am confident that many of these exceptionally motivated and intelligent students will someday make critical contributions to the future of science and technology, and those of us at Bell Labs look forward to meeting them as they begin their journey," said Jeff Jaffe, president, Bell Labs Research and Advanced Technologies. "We're proud to offer them the opportunity to meet with other outstanding science students from around the world, interact with leading researchers and explore their interest in science and technology." The winners were selected by independent panels of judges on the basis of their potential for future contribution to the fields of information and telecommunications technology, and their overall academic achievement.
