Spanish National Cancer Research Centre Summer Training Programme 2020 for Undergraduate Students (Funded to Spain)

Deadline: March 31, 2020

Applications for the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre Summer Training Programme 2020 are now open. The Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO; Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas), in Madrid, Spain, offers research training opportunities to students of all nationalities interested in pursuing a research career in the Biomedicine and Life Sciences during summer time.

Up to 7 summer training positions will be awarded during 2020 to university students from any country who study in the Biomedical & Life Sciences or related fields.

Each student will be matched with a specific laboratory based on the student’s interest and background. The student will be working under the supervision of the group/unit leader or a member of the research group. The participants will attend a series of seminars given by faculty members and researchers from the CNIO. Students will be required to present the results of their summer projects at the end of the programme.

Cost

  • Travel expenses and meals at the CNIO cafeteria will be covered for summer training programme students during their stay at the centre.
  • In addition, students without public health assistance benefits in Spain will be covered with a private health insurance provided by the CNIO for the same period of time (8 weeks).
