Abstract

In the framework of the “EC2E2N-2 European Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Education Network 2" project, and of the activity carried out by the Members of the Work Package 06 “Broadening Student Horizons”, this manuscript presents the experiences from two universities of the EC2E2N-2 consortium, providing their overviews of internships in companies (Porto University, in the field of Chemical Engineering) and in universities (Cologne University, in the field of Chemistry).
