This is a brief "lunch break" info session. Come and meet with our Brazil contact and LASP Program Manager to get information and your questions answered about the Summer 2021 digital internship program with Brazil. We call it digital and not virtual because there is nothing virtual (unreal) about it! If you apply and are accepted for this paid, $1,500 for a successfully completed internship, program, you will work with Brazilian partners in research organizations or institutions, and in some cases with other Interns from Brazilian universities working with the same partner this summer. You will not be alone! Internship expectations are tailored to your interests, skills, and level of time commitment (minimum of around 20 hours per week for 6 weeks, but somewhat flexible). So join us this summer! If you want to take a look at the options with Brazil come at 12:15 (I'll have opened the meeting at noon if better for you) and ask us questions. We also hope that if you like the idea, you'll join us either Thursday or Friday afternoon at 4:30, or as soon as you can get there, no later than 5:15pm, to meet our Brazil Partners and Brazilian University students who will also be interning with the same institutions. Can’t make one today (Thursday)? Tomorrow (Friday) we have a 12:15-12:45 pm “lunch break” brief info session or a 4:30 pm session with our Brazilian partners.

Meet the LASP Digital Internship organizer, Jihany Hassun, LASP Graduate Fellow, and learn about LASP Digital Research Internships and Einaudi Digital Research Internships with partners in Brazil.
