The Goethe-Institut is an excellent place for an internship if you are interested in promoting the German language and culture abroad and participating in a bilingual, intercultural exchange between Germany and the host country. The Goethe-Institut Boston offers internships in two departments: the Language and Social Media Department and the Cultural Program Department. Given my background in the arts and humanities, an internship in the Cultural Program Department was a perfect match for my interests. „Boston – PhD internship at the Goethe-Institut“ weiterlesen

Research Internship at Kocaeli University, Türkiye
During my Erasmus traineeship at Kocaeli University, I had the opportunity to gain significant scientific experience and personal development. The traineeship took place in the Department of Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Olcay Mert and focused on the synthesis, characterization, and degradation analysis of l-DIBG-F127-l-DIBG triblock copolymers. This project allowed me to apply and deepen the theoretical knowledge I acquired during my Master’s studies in Chemistry at Freie Universität Berlin, while working in a professional research environment. „Research Internship at Kocaeli University, Türkiye“ weiterlesen
Internship at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Thanks to my internship at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), I gained practical experience with analytical chemistry instruments that are widely used in planetary science. In addition to improving my time management skills—especially in preparing weekly reports and presentations—I had the opportunity to collaborate and network with scientists working in the field, and to experience a diverse and international research environment. „Internship at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory“ weiterlesen
Chemistry Internship at the University of Manchester
The chemistry of lanthanides and actinides differs fundamentally from the established chemistry of the main group and transition elements. Accordingly, I wanted to complete my research internship in a working group specializing in f-block chemistry. One such group is the research group led by Dr. Conrad A. P. Goodwin at the University of Manchester, which was founded in 2021. „Chemistry Internship at the University of Manchester“ weiterlesen
Biochemical Internship at the Karolinska Institute
Preperation:
As part of my Master’s degree in Biochemistry at Freie Universität Berlin, I knew I wanted to do my research internship abroad. Erasmus+ made the whole process a lot easier.
After some thorough research, a fellow student and I came across the world-renowned Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Stockholm, which has an outstanding international reputation. „Biochemical Internship at the Karolinska Institute“ weiterlesen
Researching at the University of Iceland
My stay in Iceland can be described in one word: magical. This country has been calling me for years, and I finally followed the call. From the moment I arrived, the land and its people felt like home. It is a very special place on this planet. „Researching at the University of Iceland“ weiterlesen
My internship at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station, Finland
When I arrived in Kilpisjärvi in early June, spring still meant snow-covered mountains and a lake that was only just beginning to thaw. The small village, located in the far north of Finland above the Arctic Circle, felt like a place at the edge of the world: quiet, vast, and incredibly beautiful. The atmosphere was calm and almost magical. From the very first day, everyone I met at the station was super open and welcoming, which made it easy for me to feel at home in such a remote place. „My internship at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station, Finland“ weiterlesen

Political Science Internship in Bogotá, Columbia
From 1 August to 30 September 2025, I completed a full-time internship at Corporación PODION, a Colombian non-governmental organisation based in Bogotá. PODION supports participatory and sustainable development processes and hosts the Red Nacional en Democracia y Paz (RNDP), a national network of more than ninety social and church-affiliated organisations working on peacebuilding, democracy, and environmental protection. „Political Science Internship in Bogotá, Columbia“ weiterlesen
Research Internship at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography in Marseille, France
Introduction
I joined the Institut Méditerranéen d’Océanologie (MIO) within the MEB group to contribute for identifying and analysing atmospheric hotspots with aerosol conditions that may be more favourable. My role combined data preparation with model runs, I aligned composition data from CAMS with the model’s existing MERRA-2 structure and used the model’s functions to run thermodynamic calculations for the oxidation of H₂, CO, and CH₄. Throughout, I aimed for a workflow that is clear, reproducible, and easy to re-run. „Research Internship at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography in Marseille, France“ weiterlesen
