The Italian Summer Students Program at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory: 40 years of education for physics and engineering students.

Since 1983 the Italian groups collaborating with Fermilab have been running a 2-month summer training program for Master students in physics and engineering. The program has involved almost 600 Italian students from more than 20 Italian universities. Each intern is supervised by a Fermilab Mentor responsible for the training program. Training programs spanned from Tevatron, CMS, Muon ($g-2$), Mu2e and SBN and DUNE design and data analysis, development of detectors, design of electronic and accelerator components, infrastructures and software for tera-data handling, quantum computing and research on superconductive elements and accelerating cavities. In 2015 the University of Pisa included the program within its own educational programs. Students are enrolled at the University of Pisa for the duration of the internship and are required to write summary reports on their achievements. After positive evaluation by an Examining Board, interns are acknowledged 6 ECTS credits for their Diploma Supplement. In 2020 and 2021 the program was canceled due to the emergency but in 2022 was restarted and trained 21 students. We are now organizing the 2023 program.
