During your internship, you will be responsible for your own experiments, under the supervision of one of our top researchers. The research groups for this specialisation are part of the research theme 'Chemistry of Complex Systems' at the Radboud Institute of Molecules and Materials (IMM), the Radboud Institute of Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) or the Radboud Institue for Health Sciences (RIHS).
For a second internship you can also choose to work at another institute, university or company, for example one of IMM's collaboration partners in science and industry.
