Students willing to get acquainted with life at the bench can participate in ongoing research projects of ITQB NOVA, both in a theoretical and practical sense, accompanying a researcher. Many laboratories at ITQB NOVA provide short internships and other opportunities to participate in the laboratory activities.
ITQB NOVA awards credits (ECTS) for different types of research training. Students are advised to contact the Academic Services for further information.
