intra-PROTEO internship grants (OPEN COMPETITION)

Guidelines for awarding intra-PROTEO internship grants

This program aims to provide financial support to PROTEO students, post-docs and research professional who wish to acquire practical knowledge and/or use cutting-edge infrastructure by undertaling an internship in the laboratory of a PROTEO member.

Description of scholarships

• Scholarships of up to $1,500 are awarded for an internship with a maximum duration of 10 days.
• These internships provide a practical training opportunity exclusively for PROTEO students, postdoctoral fellows, and research professionals, in the laboratories of a PROTEO researcher.
• The objective is to allow the acquisition of new technical skills, practical knowledge, and/or access to advanced research infrastructure.
• Financial support covers only internships taking place at institutions located outside the candidate’s city of residence.
