2009 Theme

The theme for ODCSSS 2009 "Technologies for bridging the digital-physical divide: sensing the environment". Each ODCSSS student is engaged in a research project with a faculty member and mentor which provides them an opportunity to experience research. The selection of interns is highly competitive but we encourage anyone interested in research who is eligible to apply.

Odysseus Projects

Listed below are the current available internship positions within ODCSSS. These are open to students attending universities within the EU. To see the list of past projects, please see 'Project Archive'.

Each student receives a weekly stipend of €300 which is paid as a tax-free scholarship, subject to satisfactory progress and participation in ODCSSS program activities. A contribution (up to €300) towards travel expenses is also available for international students.
