Civic engagement projects
The aim of this call is that FORTHEM student teams promote and manage volunteering and education projects for development, solidarity and awareness in collaboration with NGOs or other local associations.

Company internships
Up to 70 internship places are offered to students in 2020, giving them a chance to get an insight into organisations from our partner countries. Each university of our alliance provides up to 10 places. The successful candidates will not only work at companies located in the surroundings of our seven universities. Furthermore, they will be pioneers in a new company network, which is likely to develop after this first Company Internships call.

The FORTHEM Alliance call is open
Between 27th of October and 13th of December, students from FORTHEM universities are invited to apply for collective short-term mobility in 2021.
14 collective short-term mobility programmes are being organised from March to July 2021, giving you a chance to take part in a week-long activity (5 days maximum on site) as part of a group of approximately 35 students, 5 coming from each of the partner universities, who will meet physically on site in one university. A second call for the activities that will take place between September 2021 and February 2022 will be launched in spring 2021.

FORTHEM Labs
You can participate in the FORTHEM Labs to gain work experience in international and multidisciplinary expert networks.
Labs are FORTHEM’s expert networks that consist of teams of researchers, students and external partners that work together to address pressing societal challenges in Europe. Student participation in Labs is not only permitted, but highly encouraged. Working in the Labs can provide several benefits to students, including ECTS credit compensation, internships in other Alliance universities or their partner organizations, short-term mobility opportunities, and other things. Labs provide valuable experience of working in an international and multidisciplinary setting with many nationalities and academic fields.
