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.

As part of a pilot programme, 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.

After the pilot phase, we will evaluate the success of the collaboration with industry and might extend it to the other MSc degree programmes in our network. Companies interested in offering internship places to MSc students should approach industry_board@eurobioimaging.eu.
