- 3.08 Nov 2020Research InternFormer Intern, less than 1 year
Pros
- As part of the internship, you get to write a paper and an opportunity to get it published on the site of the RIS. - The professors offer freedom to choose the broad area of the paper we wish to work on and the main research question will be decided according to the themes the professor has in mind.
Cons
- Help provided to complete the paper is minimal, the supervisors are busy with their own research work and have little time to review your work and it feels more demotivating at times. - Not a fac e paced, planned working environment.
