SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding internships in Europe for students interested in Computational Physics and Astrophysics, specifically under the Erasmus scholarship program. Key recommendations include exploring opportunities at the Anton Pannekoek Institute, Nikhef, and CWI, which focus on astronomy, astroparticle research, and computational science, respectively. Participants emphasize the importance of starting the search early, ideally in January, and suggest reaching out to professors and utilizing school resources for potential leads. Engaging with the Erasmus scholarship office for guidance and networking with past students is also advised.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Erasmus scholarship application processes
  • Familiarity with Computational Physics and Astrophysics concepts
  • Knowledge of research institutions such as Anton Pannekoek Institute, Nikhef, and CWI
  • Experience in networking and reaching out to academic professionals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research internship opportunities at Anton Pannekoek Institute
  • Investigate summer programs at Nikhef related to computation and astroparticle research
  • Explore courses offered by CWI in computational science and informatics
  • Contact the Erasmus scholarship office for networking and advice
USEFUL FOR

Students pursuing internships in Computational Physics and Astrophysics, particularly those utilizing the Erasmus scholarship, as well as academic advisors and career services professionals assisting in internship placements.

I think your best bet is to scour the web looking for internships or summer programs in those areas. I would also poke around the school departments asking profs, looking at bulletin boards etc.

One thing to be aware of is that students usually do this search starting in January as doing it now may be too late.

An alternative would be to look for courses in these areas and to then contact the profs asking about opportunities. Of course you could take the too but I guess the scholarship wouldn’t apply?

While PF is a great resource, I don’t think we’ll be able to help in this matter.

Does the Erasmus scholarship have anyone you can talk to? Someone familiar with what other students have done in the past? Is there a discussion site where students share their experiences?

Look at Anton Pannekoek Institute (astronomy/astrophysics), Nikhef (they have both computation and astroparticle research) and CWI (computational science, informatics, mathematics)
