Graduate Student Training Program
What is the Graduate Student Training Program?
The program, offered during the summer, has the purpose of providing students with the opportunity to develop the necessary skills and competencies to achieve success in their studies and professional development. The call for applications to participate in the program is published every year, during the second semester of the academic year. Participants will receive a stipend.
