In order to continue to promote collaboration between the National Institute of Informatics (NII) and Politecnico di Milano, we are pleased to announce two new initiatives.
The 2020 On-line version of the NII International Internship Program offers to Master’s and PhD students of partner institutions the possibility to engage in an on-line internship remotely supervised by an NII researcher. Applications can be sent to NII at any time from November 2nd, 2020 to March 15, 2021, 17:00 JST. Selections will be processed as applications are received by NII. For more information, please see the detailed application guidelines.
We are also advertising a streamlined procedure by which students can apply for internships in Tokyo, once pandemic-related travel restrictions have been lifted, and NII is once again prepared to receive on-site internships. The students re advised to begin their preparation for application in advance, so as to minimize to the greatest extent possible any procedural delays in their arrival at Tokyo. Applications for these on-site internships will be processed by NII as they are received, at any time from the opening of submissions until February 1st, 2021, 17:00 JST. You will be contacted again regarding the opening of submissions once the stays at NII are possible again. Please see the detailed guidelines.
In previous years, from each MoU partner institution, NII has accepted nominations of at most 2 or 3 students meeting the institution’s best standards of academic performance and research potential. For 2020, a total of up to 4 student can be accommodated. Each nomination can be for either type of internship (on-line or at Tokyo), or even for both (in this last case, students still have to apply for each type separately).
