Internships for science and engineering students
Every year, the EPO offers a limited number of three to six-month internships to engineering and science students who already hold a bachelor’s (or equivalent level) degree. Interns work side by side with examiners who tutor them throughout the internship. They carry out complex re-classification work on patent applications and receive training relating to patents and other areas of IP, and various aspects of an examiner’s work.
The next interships will start on 17 June 2013.
The deadline to apply for the June session is 3 March 2013.
Locations: Munich, The Hague or Berlin.
