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.
