50 students from NOVA nominated to the Pan-European Seal Traineeship Programme
NOVA University Lisbon is part of the Pan-European Seal Network and has recently extended the Pan-European Seal Traineeship Programme, jointly offered by Europe’s largest Intellectual Property (IP) organizations – the European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
This traineeship program provides young graduates and high-performance university students, in their final year of studies, as well as Ph.D. candidates, with access to 12-month paid traineeships at the EPO, in Munich, Germany, or at the EUIPO, in Alicante, Spain, contributing to their insertion in the competitive world of IP through an enriching multicultural professional experience, advanced training and teamwork.
As such, more than 50 students from NOVA, coming from seven of its Organic Units, applied the Pan-European Seal Traineeship Programme. The selection process was conducted by the NOVA Impact office, resulting in a total of 24 students nominated to the EPO and 26 to the EUIPO.
As trainees at the EPO and the EUIPO, high-achieving university graduates will undertake challenging assignments in a range of departments. Through a combination of on-the-job work experience and professional training, trainees will have the opportunity to learn, develop skills and increase employability within their specific area of competence over the course of one year. There is a wide range of opportunities for several fields of knowledge such as Law, Science & Engineering, Political Sciences, International Relations, Linguistics, Economics, Business Administration/Entrepreneurship, Information Technology and, Communication.
