Session 5: Science & Industry and Schools
5.2 The Ciência Viva Science Internship Programme
Carlos Catalão Alves, Ciência Viva, Portugal
Abstract
A Ciência Viva national summer Science Internships Programme for secondary school students in Portugal is the case study of a PhD dissertation at the University of Cambridge, UK. Over the last 14 years, 8,947 students worked alongside scientists within the framework of a cooperation programme with research centres in both industry and public institutions. It was found that the input of the scientifi c community in private and public R&D provides opportunities for young students to have fi rst-hand contact with the culture and practices of science.
