Una Europa Master's International Research Internships (MIRI) in Sustainability

The Una Europa Master's Internship Platform supports master's students across the alliance in finding a research internship at one of our partner universities, helping you to experience an international research phase in your final master semesters.

The platform supports you by:

• Facilitating international research opportunities and research stays for Una Europa master's students.
• Bringing together students, researchers and research groups across the alliance working on sustainability topics.
• Enhancing the research and intercultural skills of Una Europa masters' students, boosting their employability for the future.

The platform is your starting point to finding the right international internship opportunity for you, based on your research focus and interests.

To use the platform, follow these four steps:

• Find your host

Browse the database of sustainability researchers from Una Europa universities to find relevant research partners across the alliance. You can search by research topic, or by the Una Europa university the researcher belongs to.

• Find out the capacity of your prospective host

Find out if the research team you are interested in can currently provide capacities for your research stay. Consider the following two cases:

1. I already have a thesis supervisor at my home university.
   Great! Discuss your preferred host with them, and then either you or your supervisor can contact the colleague using the information given in the database.
2. I do not yet have a supervisor for my master's thesis.
   No problem! Check out the different thesis topics in our database and, based on that, look for a supervisor at your home university before contacting a host for your international internship.

Please note: Not all partners may have the capacity to host a student every semester. However, every colleague included in the database is interested in getting in contact and discussing a possible research collaboration with you.

• Explore funding opportunities available through your home university

Funding opportunities for internships will be available through your home university. Contact your local coordinator to find out about funding opportunities at your university.

• Embark on your international internship adventure!

Once you have successfully contacted a host and identified the right funding opportunity for you, you can prepare to go abroad! We recommend looking at information for incoming students at your prospective hosting university. Links directing you to information for incoming students are available via the database, at the bottom of each research profile under 'Related links'.
