Max Planck MPIIB summer internship in Germany is providing academic opportunities to outstanding students in scientific research. During their three months in Berlin, interns will work on research projects under the guidance of experienced scientists. The fully funded internship program is designed specifically for dedicated students who have constraints by social, cultural, financial, or personal factors that have an adverse effect on their future academic ambitions.
Travel expenses are covered in this paid internship. Students will have access to a top scientific institution, get practical research experience, and take benefit of Berlin’s large scientific network. The Max Planck Society promotes equality, discourages discrimination and acknowledges the positive value of diversity.
Students are encouraged to apply for this international summer internship regardless of any discriminating factors. The complementary program is the internship’s second important aspect. The purpose of this internship program is to teach soft skills to interns that they will need to submit a successful PhD application.
