The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation is currently accepting applications to the call for…
As we emerge from the current global crisis, next year will be an opportunity for companies to begin new projects to address niches and shortcomings identified during the current crisis, or to restart existing projects. Having a Japanese perspective may help your projects flourish.
In summer 2021, 30 Japanese postgraduate students of science, technology or engineering will come to Europe for 7-month internships. We are looking for European companies that might be interested in hosting one or more of them. Whilst the main focus of the internship should be to draw on the student's technical studies to support and feed into your R&D activities, many previous host companies say that their Vulcanus students also made an important contribution to developing their business with Japan. Given the broad range of studies on offer, this activity is open to all sectors of industry and to companies of all sizes. We would especially welcome applications from Central and Eastern Europe.
You would get to choose your students. To help you in your choice, the EU-Japan Centre will propose a short-list tailored to each company, based on the students' field of studies, academic scores, personal background and testimonials from their tutors. Before they join you, to help them fit in to your workforce, the students will have followed a 4-month intensive language course in your company's working language.
