Purposes
Recipients
Advanced undergraduate students in Science (Physics, Chemistry, and related areas) and Engineering having reached at least 75% of their career, or recently graduated professionals in these same careers
Work Dynamics
Summer scholarships are one-month internships in which participants carry out a research work in one of the labs at the CAB, usually in February. During the first two days, participants visit the laboratories and are given the possible work lines. The internship finishes with the submission of a final report and the presentation of a poster.
