Registration for 2022 is closed.
PhD students from the research projects in the centre or the research school are given the chance to try out a professional path outside academia through a three-months internship at a company in or outside Norway. For the internship period you will have the opportunity to choose a project that you see relevant for your further career development, and take part in the daily activities and work routines of the host company.
Would you like to host an intern in your company?
The Centre for Digital Life Norway will help you with
- Finding a suitable company based on your experience and/or interest (in or outside Norway).
- Setting up the contract between you, the company, and your institution/employer.
- Financial support equivalent to three months' salary.
- Financial support for travel and accommodation if necessary.
You are expected to
- Provide us with a motivation letter and a CV containing relevant information and experience for a company.
- If selected, arrange for a three-months leave at your local institution. We will assist you on the practical issues.
- Find your own accommodation if your internship is in another city.
You are not guaranteed an internship if you apply, and you are also free to decline any company we may suggest for you. Submitting your application is not binding.
So far, 16 students from NTNU, UiT, UiB, NMBU and UiO have joined the industry internship program, and have visited companies in Sweden and Norway to conduct their internships.
The feedback from students and host companies has been overwhelmingly positive.
