Every year, over the summer period, ICFO offers a limited number of summer research fellowships to carry out a research project on a variety of topics in Photonic Sciences at ICFO. The program aims at outstanding undergraduate students within the last two years of their Master-equivalent or Engineering degree studies. Eligible areas include Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology.

The ICFO Summer Fellows are hosted and coached by the different ICFO research groups. While being exposed to cutting-edge science projects within a host research group, the ICFO Summer Fellows may engage in a training program which also offers opportunities in the area of professional and personal development.
