ICIQ Summer Fellowship Programme offers up to 15 fellowships each year to national and international undergraduate students to give them the opportunity to learn, work and live in an exciting environment of cutting-edge research in chemistry. Students are welcome to spend a two-month paid internship in one of ICIQ’s research groups during the months of July and August.

These fellowships will be financed by the “Severo Ochoa” Centres of Excellence Program 2019 (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, CEX2019-000925-S, 2020-2024).The undergraduates, mentored and supervised by a PhD student or a postdoctoral researcher, will carry out research projects with scientists at the forefront of their fields in addition to receiving training. During their stay, students will have access to ICIQ seminars and conferences. By the end of their internship, Summer Fellows will be required to present a short report and presentation of the work and results obtained.

This is a great opportunity for undergraduates to have an insight on the Institute research activities and to conduct research in an international scientific environment. Moreover, summer fellows are in an optimal situation to carry out Master studies at ICIQ and then apply for a future PhD position in our institute.
