ELIGIBILITY
All companies in the industrial or service sector and architectural practices within the EU are eligible.
The traineeship should be R&D oriented.
Through fulfilling the assigned tasks, the trainee should be given the chance to optimize and implement the specific knowledge he/she acquired at university.
Companies must be ready to integrate the trainee(s) into their team.
(A major reason for Japanese students to apply is to acquire experience of working within a team. They will gain an understanding of European approaches to team-working, decision-making and cross-cultural issues).
Important notice
'Vulcanus in Europe' is, in principle, open to all EU27 member states.
However, visa and work permit – applicable rules depend on national legislation and may evolve.
The EU-Japan Centre will reconfirm the compatibility of Vulcanus in Europe in your country, through liaising with your national authority in September/October.
Based on our past experience, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that potential difficulties may only be notified to the EU-Japan Centre then.
One of the selection criteria will be the compatibility of Vulcanus with the rules in force at the time of the selection.
