RECA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 2022
The proposed period for the second edition of this internship program is the summer of 2022. The dates are flexible by mutual agreement between the supervisor and the student, but the research aims to be completed in a range of approximately 10 weeks between May and August 2022. Therefore, full dedication to research by the student is expected during that period.
