We will support EFEQT students to apply for financial support for European international internships (via Erasmus+). The minimum duration of the internship is 2 months and the application should be submitted at least 2 months before the planned internship date (earlier the better)
When you find an interesting project please write to the corresponding contact person immediately for more information. If they agree to host you please let us know via info@efeqt.eu, so that we can guide you through the next steps.
