Summer Fellowships Programme
ICIQ’s Summer fellowships are an excellent opportunity to learn, work and live in a challenging environment of cutting-edge research under the supervision of distinguished scientists.
Outstanding undergraduate students with a background in Chemistry or related studies make the most of their Summer holydays by doing research in one of ICIQ’s research groups during the months of July, August and September. This year 2013, ten candidates from different countries were awarded with this paid internship. They had the opportunity to carry out several research projects in some of the groups of the centre and of course, they enjoyed a full ICIQ experience!
ICIQ’s Summer Fellowships programme is sponsored by Obra Social “La Caixa”.
