Vulcanus in Europe

Boost your R&D team through hosting a Japanese student in engineering
Every year, the EU-Japan Centre offers companies and research centres the possibility to host Japanese trainees for an 8-month internship in the EU (from August to March). The trainees come from leading Japanese universities and are students in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, chemistry, digital technologies or other technical disciplines… Following a 4-month intensive language course, the trainees will be able to communicate in the EU language requested by the company. By welcoming a trainee, the main benefits for the Host Company are a valuable addition to its R&D workforce and an insight into Japanese culture, which is extremely useful for conducting successful business with Japan.
The programme is inexpensive: companies pay €825/month or the national minimum wage – whichever is higher, (+ costs related to taxes/social security/visa/ work & residence permit, whenever applicable and required by the national law.)
The next call will be launched in spring.
