The selected individuals will have the opportunity to conduct research under the guidance of a mentor, to become acquainted with the latest research methods and techniques, and to gain access to the state-of-the-art facilities of the Cyprus Institute (unless remotely participating in research selection programme). It is also noted that this year the summer internship programme will be open for administrative positions.

Choice of research programmes
