Under the supervision of a group leader or a senior member of a research group, students will carry out a short research project, in addition to receiving training. During their stay, students will have access to suitable laboratory space, equipment, and research supplies. They will work alongside pre- and post-doctoral researchers and receive training at the highest levels, also by participating to CIC biomaGUNE seminars.
A maximum of 6 internship positions will be awarded in 2026.
The program runs for a total of 2 months during the months of June, July, and August (see below*). Due to administrative and visa requirements, this intership is limited to students from European countries with valid passport.
