2020 CIC biomaGUNE Summer Research Program

The Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials (CIC biomaGUNE) launches the 2020 Summer Research Program, with the support of the Maria de Maeztu Excellence Program, to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to have an insight into the institute’s research activities and to conduct research within an international scientific environment.

Under the supervision of a group leader or a senior member of a research group, students will carry out a short research project, in addition to receiving training. During their stay, students will have access to suitable laboratory space, equipment and research supplies. They will work alongside pre‐ and post‐doctoral researchers and receive training at the highest levels, also by participating to CIC biomaGUNE seminars.

A maximum of 8 internship positions will be awarded in 2020

The program runs for a total of 8 weeks during the months of June, July and August. The call is open to undergraduate students of any nationality.
