The XV UB Virtual Business Forum, organized by the Faculty of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Biology and Pharmacy and Food Science of the UB, is a very good opportunity for students to get in contact with companies whose activity is related to their studies. This contact may drive into a scholarship, an agreement for work practices or, even, an employment contract. An important aspect for the student is also training in skills relating to the establishment of the contact with the company, to be able to design and to present a good curriculum, to learn to do a good job interview, etc.. 

In previous years, more than 100 companies, research centers and universities participated in the event, which counted with the visit of more than 600 unversity students from a variety of degrees and masters in these scientific areas. 

This year, the event will be virtual, although there will also be the possibility to attend to conferences, to see job offers, and to do some interviews with the different companies, research centers and university departments. Take a look at the programme of colloquiums and talks here (for both days, 28 and 29 April). 

The Business Forum is also a chance for the scientists of the research groups to establish relationships between research and technology. It is also helpful to try to save the wall University/ Industry and promote the technology transfer, so important for the future.

The Forum is for students of the degrees coursed at the mentioned faculties and for master students related to these topics: 

• Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, 
• Chemical Engineering, Chemistry
• Computer Engineering, Electronics Telecommunication Engineering
• Environmental Sciences, Geological Engineering, Geology, Sea Sciences
• Materials Science & Engineering, Nanoscience & Nanotechnology
• Mathematics 
• Physics
• Pharmacy, Food technology

At ICMAB we are looking for...

• Students with... Higher Education in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Biology, etc.
• Requirements: Motivated and proactive people, willing to work in group and capable of solving problems. English is the basic language in a scientific environment, both written and spoken.

These are some of the projects that are open to internships during 2021, in the field of new materials for energy, electronics and health. 

See you on Wednesday, 28 April 2021, from 10 am to 4 pm. Take a look at the programme and register for the XV UB Virtual Business Forum!
