Politecnico di Torino provides scholarships aimed at doing
an (unpaid) internship abroad in companies, research institutes, education
institutes which are based or have a branch in one of the countries
participating in the Erasmus+ programme. Trainees can choose also the higher
education International Relations offices only if the training activity is
completely described in the Learning agreement for Traineeship. This activity
should not be financially supported by any other EU programmes so that the
possibility of conflict of interests or double financing is avoided.
The fact of receiving these scholarships gives the right
to obtain the “Erasmus+ status” which offer to the trainee different advantages
and benefits, such as:
1.
the execution of the administrative procedures;
the communications between the trainee and the host institution will be dealt
by the Outgoing Mobility Office and the Stage&Job Office of Politecnico di
Torino, according to direct contacts which help trainees in the burocracy;
2.
the internship done abroad, previously agreed
with the Traineeship coordinator, will be validated after the trainee’s return according
to the credit system used.
In particular, the new Erasmus+ programme provides the possibility of
doing the internship both during the university career (Traineeship
Undergraduate) and after getting BS, MS and PhD Degree (Traineeship
Postgraduate).
Trainees can choose the duration of the internship which can last from a
minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months without any interruptions. The duration must be specified while
applying.
