AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking internship opportunities in Europe, specifically in Computational Physics and Astrophysics, with financial support from the Erasmus program. Participants recommend thorough online research for internships or summer programs, emphasizing the importance of starting the search early, ideally in January, as it may be too late to find opportunities now. Suggestions include reaching out to professors and checking departmental bulletin boards for potential openings. Additionally, contacting professors about course-related opportunities is advised, although it may not align with scholarship eligibility. Resources mentioned include the Anton Pannekoek Institute, Nikhef, and CWI for relevant research opportunities. Engaging with the Erasmus program for guidance and connecting with other students for shared experiences is also encouraged.

Hi everybody,
I need help. I am looking for and internship in Europe. I will be financially suported by erasmus.
I like Computational Physics, Astrophysics. Do you have something to reccommned me in Holland?
Any advice is helpful!
Thank you!

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)

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
