MIT-Spain matches more than 50 students annually with professional internships and research with leading companies, universities and research institutes in Spain. The program is open to all MIT undergrads, graduate students and recent MIT alumni.  Here are testimonies from some of our host institutions:

“One of the best parts of the MIT-Spain program is that it is not just a short-term internship but it also opens the possibility of long-term collaborations.  We still collaborating (both online and throughout short research stages) with some of the students we had some years ago. This is a clearly a win-to-win relationship.”

“I appreciated the strong interdisciplinary background and open attitude of the MIT student that worked with us.”

“MIT-Spain’s candidate has been an outstanding intern. He was extremely capable technically, thanks to MIT’s thorough education.  He demonstrated excellent communication skills and integrated seamlessly in the group’s environment.”
