About the Radius Centre

Connect. Students and scientists, researchers and scholars, science and exploration, universities and the private sector – all intertwined with the aim of fostering mutual learning and helping students kick-start their careers. Fourteen top scientific, academic, and industrial institutions have already united towards this common objective, collaborating under the banner of the Radius Development Center. Thanks to our extensive ties with the private sector, we have successfully executed numerous projects, and we are now striving to expand internship opportunities, particularly in technical fields. We present you with the chance to tap into this diverse array of internships, where you can apply your knowledge in practical settings, push the boundaries of your expertise, and learn from experts in various professional domains.  

Moreover, once your internship concludes, you can seamlessly transition into another similar or different topic if you enjoy the process of learning and discovery. We will undoubtedly find another fascinating subject for you. Our internships are highly flexible, tailored to individual agreements, and can be pursued throughout the academic year or during summer vacations. Additionally, occasional remote work is an option, although it might not match the camaraderie of the workplace 😊. If your internship proves successful, there is the possibility of further collaboration, such as part-time work. In essence, the possibilities at the Radius Development Center are virtually limitless.  

Join Radius now, and gain new knowledge, just like over 60 other trainees have already done.

How It Works?

  1. The supervisor proposes a topic and writes a short abstract.
  2. We publish the topic with details on our website.
  3. If the topic interests you, you can apply via our online form.
  4. After applying, we will contact you shortly.
  5. We’ll arrange a short call with HR and the supervisor to discuss internship details, such as duration, process, and the team you could join.
  6. Once we agree, it’s up to you to shine with us! 😉

Internship Models We Offer:

Individual Model

 

You apply individually for a topic that interests you. We will connect you with the topic supervisor, align expectations for collaboration, and agree on the conditions. The advantage of this model is that you are in direct contact with an expert in the field, which helps you learn how to independently initiate and complete your own projects, as well as effectively defend the results of your work.

Projekt Model

Thinking about the same topic? Are you a group of enthusiastic students with the same or similar area of interest? That’s more than cool! 😊

With us, you can also complete an internship as a team. We’re happy to design a joint project where multiple interns can work together. You can choose from our available topics, and we’ll take care of the organization to ensure you function as a group.

Your internship will be guided by a topic supervisor and a junior researcher (usually a PhD student), who will be available as mentors. This way, you’ll form a compact team that collaborates, discusses professional challenges, and works on developing or implementing a project in practice.

The advantage of this internship model is that you can learn from each other, support one another, and grow together.

What to prepare for

The first opportunity to discuss the topic of the internship takes place online and in the presence of HR and the guarantor of the announced topic. The meeting usually takes 30 minutes. In general – fortune favors the prepared. To know what you want to say during the meeting, focus on what is relevant and important to emphasize. Be prepared for Q&As about yourself, to summarise your current working/ studying status and what goals, shortly you are going to achieve. It is also important to be ready to answer motivational questions, i.e. what do you like in general, what do you enjoy in your career way, why did you decide to apply for the internship at all? We are also interested in what and how you can work within fields of IT or laboratory methods, materials, etc. Everything depends on the topic and your area of expertise.

The preferred language used to communicate in working teams is English, don’t worry about the language barrier. The scientific environment is full of expats from different parts of the world, so English joins us.

We welcome everyone interested and we encourage everybody who wants to join us. We offer flexibility in the length and duration of internships and we aim at the potential for long-term collaboration.

Note: The quality and homogeneity of the selection procedure are ensured through HR partners/specialists who provide professional and methodological support to all applicants.
