Are you a student?
Searching for an internship to apply your training to a societal problem?
The Science Shop offers you the opportunity to complement your in-class training with concrete fieldwork that is useful to society.
It provides the ideal context for putting into practice your knowledge to benefit a not-for-profit association and to help it find scientific solutions for its problems. The proposed internship subjects have been reformulated by a scientific committee assessing their feasibility and their scientific prospects and potential. Over a period of four to six months, you gather together knowledge applicable to this association, while developing specific competences and expertise in collaboration with students from other disciplines.

- An illustrated summary, made available on-line and in open access to the general public.
- Greater visibility (for local authorities, general public, etc)
During my studies, I sometimes found it difficult to identify the concrete interest of what I was doing. This internship will enable me to share with the general public the knowledge I’ve accumulated over four years, while also developing a certain environmental expertise and garnering work experience.
