The OeAD is happy to welcome the highest number of ISTernship scholarship holders for 2021. Since 2015 the OeAD has been running the ISTernship summer program on behalf of IST Austria in Klosterneuburg. The ISTernship (“IST-” + “(int)ernship“) is a summer internship program for outstanding bachelor’s and master’s students who are looking to expand their scientific research experience. The competition to get a scholarship for an ISTernship is always very high. Even if the number of countries has been reduced in 2021, there were still 692 applications received, out of which 619 were complete. In the end, only 28 persons have been selected to join one of the research groups on the IST Campus. Additionally, 19 students who had been selected in 2020 and could not come last year because of the pandemic, are allowed to join in summer 2021.
