Home > International cooperation > Internship support programme
The objective of the Internship Support Programme is to facilitate scientists and engineers from developing countries to gain experience by working for a limited period of time in advanced research laboratories/facilities in industrialised countries. A particular objective of this programme is to facilitate exchange of scientific and technical information and strengthening of such institutions in the targeted countries through capacity building.
While the OPCW Secretariat will not be responsible for placing the interns, requests for funding of internships in part or in full will be considered provided they subserve to the aforesaid objectives. The prospective interns are expected to tie up all necessary arrangements, including acceptance by the institution receiving the intern, prior to submitting an application to the Secretariat for the sponsorship. The forms of support may include travel grant and/or internship allowance as per prescribed norms.
