Students are accepted all year round

Usually the minimum period is 2 months and there is no maximum. In certain circumstances shorter stays may be considered

Work will consist of analysis of data in the lab and data collection in the field. You will participate in the monitoring of an active volcano which is currently erupting. Here on the website you can find information about many of the projects that are carried out.

Most important is that the participant has the initiative to work on his/her own on a project. Usually it is required that the participant is studying for a degree in either Earth Science or Physics (or has recently finished). Postgraduate students (both Masters and PhD) have participated in the past.
