Pilot on Industry Internships for MSc students


January 10, 2022
Biomedical Imaging EBIB Training Opportunities

Euro-BioImaging is offering industry internships in collaboration with the Master’s Programme in Biomedical Imaging (BIMA) in Turku, Finland, and Industry Board members ZEISS and TissueGnostics GmbH. Companies will offer students internship places that will be credited towards the MSc programme to get to know different job profiles in industry.

The trilateral Memorandum of Understanding was signed in December 2021 and first students completed their internship in 2022.

The pilot phase of the project was successfully completed in 2023. In 2025, PicoQuant will join the group of Industry Board companies that offer an internship position to the MSc programme.

We are also in discussion to extend the industry internship programme to the other MSc degree programmes in our network. Companies interested in offering internship places to MSc students should approach industry_board@eurobioimaging.eu.

We are now recruiting new interns for 2025!

For information on how to apply for an internship at one of our partner companies, contact the Programme Coordinators in Turku at bima-office@bioimaging.fi.
