Vulcanus in Europe – Host a Japanese intern

Host a Japanese intern and broaden your horizons in research and development!

Next year, the Vulcanus programme will bring 15 graduate and postgraduate STEM students in science, technology, or engineering from Japan to Europe. With its world-renowned engineering and hi-tech industries, Japan has some of the best universities in this field, helping to shape a brighter future in science. Thanks to Vulcanus, you will have the opportunity to get close to the best students from these universities, who will collaborate with your research and development team in person. 

Take the opportunity to benefit from a different culture and see problems from a different perspective. This is your chance to start building a bridge with the Japanese business market and working culture! Given the broad range of studies, Vulcanus is open to all sectors of industry and to companies of all sizes. It is you who will choose the students: The EU-Japan Centre will help you through the process by offering a shortlist of interns specific to your company. This will be based on the students' field of study, academic scores, personal background, and the recommendations of their mentors. Furthermore, before joining, students will undergo an intensive language course in your company's working language, to facilitate an immediate integration with the team.
