Internship - Science Communication
This internship is organized upon request and availability and CANNOT be booked via the website.
Please send your CV, letter of motivation and the desired time period for the internship to biology@scienteenslab.lu.
Science communication i.e. distilling technical information about a research topic into understandable messages for non-expert audiences and thus bridging the gap between scientists and the general public is a crucial but not always easy task.
This internship (one week) allows students to discover different aspects of the daily life of a researcher and science communicator. You will perform experiments in the lab and learn new scientific techniques. Afterwards, you are challenged to develop a new engaging scientific outreach activity for a specific audience or write diverse communication materials focusing on the new techniques and methods you just learned.
The internship is done in collaboration with research groups from the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) and from the Department of Life Science and Medicine (DLSM) of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine.
Target audience
The internship is intended for high-school students aged 15 and over.
Languages
The internship can be conducted in English, German or Luxembourgish.
