Summer Internship

Those who attend the 8 scheduled workshops can apply for a paid summer internship at a renowned company in Upper Austria during the summer of 2025. The individual companies, however, will decide which intern will be accepted for the internship position. Taking part in the program does not automatically guarantee an internship position.

We would like to thank our cooperation partners for supporting the JKU Young Engineering Scientists program in 2024/25:
