Any recommended summer school for high energy physics?

In summary, the speaker is a undergraduate student who is interested in doing a summer exchange related to academic pursuits. They specifically mention their interest in attending a summer school focused on HEP (High Energy Physics). They ask if there are any institutes that offer summer programs similar to the Santa Fe Institute's program on complex systems. The other person responds by mentioning that most organized schools are geared towards graduate students and it would be helpful to know if the student is interested in theory or experiment, as well as their country of origin. They also mention some potential options, such as the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in the US and programs at CERN for the EU.

Hi guys, my school will offer me an amount of money to have a summer exchange to do anything academic-related. I would like to apply for a summer school on HEP. Do there exist institute that offer summer program which specialized in HEP in the way similar to how Santa Fe Institute offer summer program on complex system?
Btw, I am an undergraduate student who would like to make research on particle physics and string theory in the future

Most of the organized schools I'm familiar with are geared toward graduate students. It would help to know if you are interested in theory or experiment. Also, your country of origin, or at least US/EU/developing country if you're unwilling to disclose too much personal data. For instance, in the US, there is something called Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), but I believe that it is limited to US citizens and permanent residents. For EU, CERN might have something and for developing countries you could try the ICTP in Trieste, Italy.
