I began by gaining knowledge of the types of signals to be acquired and analysed in 7T laminar fMRI and knowledge of the most common statistical packages used in data analysis. In the following weeks I practised these skills on an existing dataset provided by Prof. de Martino. I also gained access to educational materials prepared by Dr. Federico de Martino and received one-on-one consultation sessions with the Prof. de Martino as well as scientific exchange within the research group.

Blended Internship in Edinburgh
Erasmus+ blended training format and destination choice
The Erasmus+ traineeship is an useful opportunity to benefit from an international exchange once graduated, as in my case, having concluded my studies on the SS24. Not having been before in Scotland, I chose it as destination because of a seminar delivered by a professor coming from Edinburgh. This seminar was hosted during the period I was conducting my master thesis project at the local research institute Max Delbrück Center.

My experiences at the Centre for European Policy Studies, Brussels
After my Erasmus exchange at the University of Antwerp, I was inspired by my classmates to seek an internship in Brussels, the EU’s headquarters. Although I had always envisioned a career in research, I recently decided to explore opportunities beyond academia, particularly in spaces where research intersects with practical policymaking. That’s when think tanks caught my attention—they offer a unique environment where project-led, evidence-based policy recommendations are developed, bridging the gap between academia and consulting.

Internship in Msida, Malta
When I was finishing my study abroad Erasmus semester in Athens, I knew I wasn’t ready to go back to cold Germany just yet, and I still had to complete the 30 ABV credits, so I decided to look for an internship abroad. I stumbled upon an internship in science communication in Malta, and applied, thinking I would not get in because of my lack of a STEM background. I was impressed with the description, noting that they were working on two projects related to urban planning, which I was planning to study as my Master’s.
A botanical journey through Sicily
During the summer of 2024, I embarked on a research internship in Palermo, Italy, immersing myself in the world of vegetation and plant ecology at the local university.
My Stay in Uppsala
My time in Uppsala has been incredibly pleasant and rewarding. I arrived in July, at a time when most of the students and residents of the city were away on their summer holidays. The city initially felt quite empty, which was a bit odd at first. However, this gave me a unique opportunity to experience Uppsala from a different perspective—quieter and more serene.
Internship at Nuclio in Spain
Over the past six months, I had the opportunity to intern at Nuclio, a venture builder that focuses on creating and developing new startups. As a Venture Development Intern, I was involved in various tasks that exposed me to the fast-paced world of venture creation. This experience has been invaluable in helping me gain a deeper understanding of the startup ecosystem and has played a key role in my career development.
Veterinary Internship in Canada
Ever since I started studying veterinary medicine at the Freie Universität Berlin, I have felt a strong interest in wildlife. In my second year, I began working in the wildlife department of the small animal clinic at my vet school. There, I treated various species of wild birds commonly found in German cities and suburban areas, as well as hedgehogs and occasionally bats. I loved working with these animals and knew I wanted to incorporate wildlife rehabilitation into my fourth-year internships.
