Great Students – Awesome Projects – Cool Infrastructure
iVEC internships build capacity in computational science by giving students the opportunity to immerse themselves in an advanced computing project. Supervisors and sponsors benefit from the opportunity to explore new techniques and technologies for their research area. You can take part in this program by proposing a project or applying for an internship.
iVEC’s Summer Internships are aimed at undergraduate university students looking to complement their discipline knowledge with hands-on experience in advanced computing technologies.
Interns are supervised by leading researchers from the iVEC partners and/or sponsoring organisations. Students undertake a research project utilising the resources provided by iVEC. Detailed information for student, supervisors and sponsors is available in our Internships Overview.
