Applications are open until December 18th and aim to award up to six internship Studentships .

This internship program takes place under a cooperation agreement signed in 2016 between the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (MCTES), the FCT and NASA, which allowed Portugal to join the US space agency's International Internship Program.

Students can apply for these internship Studentships if they are studying for a doctorate or master's degree in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and are doing academic work with a special focus on space. The internship opportunities include 18 NASA research projects that candidates will be able to attend. The selected students will attend the internships between June and December 2018.

In the first edition of the Call internships at NASA, six Portuguese students were selected, who are currently in the USA and will complete their training period at the end of this year.
