Summer Student Program

Are you a Master's student looking for summer work experience?

If you’ve already started master’s studies in organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, computational or theoretical chemistry, or a closely related field at any university within the EU (outside of the Czech Republic) and are looking for a summer work experience abroad from the beginning of July to the end of August (8-week program), IOCB Prague offers an opportunity to expand your scientific horizons while living in Prague, one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in Europe.

IOCB's Summer Student Program is designed to provide students with engaging and meaningful work experience, opportunities to expand their professional networks, and chances to develop their skills and competencies by receiving valuable feedback from experienced scientists.

IOCB Prague works to match students with the research group that fits their future career interests. Given the highly competitive nature of the program, we cannot guarantee that all applicants will be assigned.

This program is not intended for students already on Erasmus or other fellowships.

Accommodation and travel

The institute arranges accommodation for students at a nearby dormitory and supports them with the equivalent of c. EUR 1.800 for their 8-week stay. Travel expenses are covered by the students.
