WHY INTERNSHIP MATCHMAKING?
With the Internship Matchmaking Day we create a meeting arena for life science companies and prospective internship candidates to meet each other. Candidates will achieve a better understanding of the opportunities companies offer, while companies may screen for potential internship candidates. Interviews are short, just 10 minutes, to provide time to conduct many meetings.

There is no fee for participating at the TLSC Internship Matchmaking Day. At registration you also sign up for the get-together where you may do follow-up questions or simply mingle and meet friends. The event is hosted by The Life Science Cluster and Science for Society. More companies will be included shortly, stay updated at this event site, TSLC Facebook site or SFS facebook site.
