Through an internship, pupils can gain hands-on research experience over the summer:

  • Internships across all natural science and technology topics, including "AI for Green"
  • 4 weeks working alongside a company or research institution
  • Mentoring by an expert
  • Gross monthly salary of at least 750 euros
  • Afterwards, create a report or video about the internship – the 20 best submissions will be awarded prizes.

NEW/DIFFERENT: Instead of the previous FEMtech internships for female students, the 2024 Internships for Female Students call is planned to launch on 08.03.2024. The content remains the same as before, with the change that not all natural science and technology topics are eligible for funding anymore, but rather five BMK topics.

Internships for Female Students 2024:

The Internships for Female Students 2024 call supports women in entering a research career in natural sciences and technology. In 2024, internship content will be funded in the areas of climate-neutral cities, the energy transition, the mobility transition, the circular economy and production technologies, as well as space and aviation technologies: https://www.ffg.at/studentinnenpraktika2024

More women in natural sciences and technology!

Through internships for female students, companies and non-university research institutions can help the next generation of female researchers get their foot in the door. Female students with an interest in research gain valuable insights into the professional practice of applied research and build important contacts.
