Interested in getting involved in research?

If you are in the final years of a degree in a related field —such as Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Agronomy or Veterinary Science— and would like to take your first steps in research, or if you have already graduated and would like to join one of our research areas, we invite you to get in touch.

What can you do?

  • Internships.
  • Undergraduate final projects.
  • Postgraduate theses.

Available places and the arrangements for joining depend on each research area. We therefore recommend contacting the leaders of the area that interests you directly to ask about availability and requirements.
