week, interns write a research project proposal. In the next eight
weeks they carry out the proposed project. In the final week they
present their research results in oral and written form. Depending on
the academic area, the conduct of research may include laboratory
experimentation, outdoor field work, and data analysis. Students work
either as part of a research team or independently.

ELIGIBILITY
