My experience at IrRADIARE allowed me to acquire new skills and directly put them into practice in a real context. I came from an economics background but I asked to work more in the programming field where I learned how to deal with many new programs and programming language like Python. Even if it is an internship you have the feeling to be part of an organization where everybody does its part and it is essential to reach the company goals. Other than the job aspect, living in Lisbon is an experience that changes your life for the better. If you still have doubts don't think more about it and join IrRADIARE you will never regret it!

Raffaelo, Italy

During my internship with Irradiare I had the opportunity to explore new topics, broaden my horizons and compare myself with people from all over the world. It was a great opportunity for growth, even more precious in this difficult historical moment.

Flavia, 30, Italy

Despite working remotely due to the pandemic, my six months at IrRADIARE allowed me to develop concrete project planning skills while learning about key trends of sustainable development. I very much recommend this internship as it offers the opportunity to work not only in a multicultural and motivated team, but also with local and international stakeholders. Eventually, I believe that the people I met, the knowledge I learned and the skills I built will be an asset to enter the job market in the field of European Affairs.

Rose, 24, France

My internship at IrRADIARE offered a very warm environment where I had the ability to gain experience in international teamwork even though I worked remotely from my country due to the pandemic. I was assigned tasks that challenged me in the field of remote sensing and I was asked to create a model using satellite data to increase the intelligence of territorial management. The company gave me the opportunity to put my class room skills to the test in real world circumstances. Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues whose unique innovative spirit undoubtedly inspired me for my future professional steps after graduation.

Akis, Greece

Life changed suddenly for the whole world when COVID-19 arrived. But despite the difficult times, our dreams must continue, so I started my experience in Lisbon at IrRADIARE. I had the opportunity to work with an excellent team who always trusted me when it came to bring my design and communication skills to the projects. Also, the possibility of being able to carry out field work with my camera in hand, and the chance to meet new people (even through a screen), completed this unique experience.

Cecilia, 23, Spain

Thanks to IrRADIARE I had the opportunity to work in an incredible team that was always ready to help and thanks to which I was able to develop my skills as a designer in a lot of different interesting projects related to sustainability. From the first day, I felt part of the team and I am very happy for the trust that everyone placed in me and the way in which they always valued my work. Although it was not the ideal situation to do an internship due to the pandemic, I can definitely say that staying in Lisbon for three months working at IrRADIARE was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had, both personally and professionally.

Ana, 23, Spain

During these three months I had the opportunity to work with an excellent team, participated in different projects and acquired new knowledge and experience. Even by working from home, due to the pandemic, I could feel part of the team, a great working environment. So it was a wonderful experience working with a team of well prepared professionals and full of important projects which direct contribute to development a sustainable society.

Fabiane, 27, Brazil

The internship at IrRADIARE was undoubtedly a unique experience. The social moments were definitely important and for a moment made us forget the whole situation we were experiencing this year. The work team and all the communication involved in the tasks were exceptional, which also allowed for a great working environment. I just want to add that it was an enriching experience both professionally and personally.

Daniela, 24, Portugal

My time at IrRADIARE surpassed my expectations for what an internship can provide. The team was great and always ready to help, they were always concerned about providing me with real opportunities to learn and better myself. This was an experience that I will for sure take with me for a very long time.

Fernando, 24, Portugal

My internship at IrRADIARE surpassed all of my expectations. Since this was my first work experience, I felt a bit scared at first, but thankfully I worked with a wonderful team that did everything possible to help me at all times. And even though I worked from home, I could feel the great work environment that IrRADIARE has. I left this internship excited with everything that I learned and with a lot more confidence for my next professional experience.

Lucca, 21, Portugal

When i first applied for this internship i was scared i would not fit the job, because it was the first time on the job market and doing something that was not related to my area of study. The global situation wasn’t ideal too, however since day one i felt like a part of the team. Everyone was always ready to help us, to guide us when we needed guidance and that made me feel secure and excited about all the tasks. Even though it was a remote internship the connection with all the Team was so incredible! Every Friday we joint on a Online Call and just talked about everything (but work), did a lot of games to know each other and this made these 3 months feel like a week. I left this internship with new ambitions, new learnings, but with a heavy heart for leaving these persons i truly feel inspirated about. I have no words to thank all IrRADIARE members, because they did this awful pandemic situation feel a lot more lighter. This internship made me improve a lot of skills and discover new ones i didn't knew i had. I hope you enjoy this experience as much as i did.

Rita, 20, Portugal

I always wanted to do something meaningful and positively remarkable for society and the environment. I had this chance during my internship at IrRadiare despite the fact that it was a remote internship. During my experience, I faced tasks and challenges in the field of European projects (green hydrogen energy, smart cities, Europe digitalising etc.), sustainability and overcame them also thanks to the support of the great team. I learned a lot of things and became familiar with Europe developing vector. An internship has made me more confident and even more passionate about Sustainable & International Development. It was a great journey of continuous learning and developing.

Elena, 23, Saint Petersburg

After two months of my return home, I am still thinking about experience in Portugal, from the beginning to the end. Unfortunately, I had to leave sooner, because of the Covid-19. Even though my internship was the most interesting and adventurous experience in my life. Not only the working time in the office but every second, which I could spend with people and knowing Portuguese culture, Lisbon, and surrounding areas. It was the first time I lived alone without my family and friends. I can say it was the best decision to go despite it was not so easy. During my experience, I learned many new things, overcame myself, and I met a lot of friendly people who were very kind and helpful. This journey made me stronger, more self-confident and it learnt me to enjoy the present time. I really miss the peaceful life which was everywhere around me. Many times I had felt like in a dream. For sure, this experience will be in my heart forever. To the end, little advice for the next trainees – the 25th of February is the day off. Don't come to the office!

Barbora, 24, Slovakia

Thanks to IrRADIARE I was able to learn a lot about European environmental projects. Even though my internship was interrupted by Covid-19, the company was amazing! We worked from home, but the connection, helpfulness, and professionalism of coworkers was priceless!

Monika, 22, Slovakia

IrRADIARE was not only a workplace where I expanded my knowledge but also a safe place to feel calm and focused on my work. I think I have absorbed a lot of knowledge from this experience: in addition to the study path itself (programming applied to data analysis with pycharm and TensorFlow), I lived for the first time alone without my family, and this experience has broadened my horizons both personally and culturally. I was part of a fantastic team, Flávia and Elsa were very kind, and during my stay at IrRADIARE, I met many people of my age, including some Italians guys. I felt involved and passionate about the hydrogen project, and although it didn't last long it certainly impressed me. I hope to be able to return and work to IrRADIARE in the future, perhaps by visiting their Brussels office next time.

Michela, 22, Italy

I found IrRADIARE in my university webpage and I think it's a good opportunity to gain international experience and improve languages.

Second, the possibility of doing the internship abroad, in a country that is developing and performing well, like Portugal, and in a multi-cultural environment, definitely convinced me to accept this challenge.

In this company, I was warmly welcomed and the people who work here are very helpful and kind.

The projects which I'm working on are connected with the degree that I’m taking - Environmental Engineering - and also we are learning practical ways to save the environment.

Before coming here I wasn't sure if was a good idea to go alone to a new country without knowing anyone, but now I think that it was the best decision ever.

Patryk, 23, Poland

IrRADIARE is Innovation, Sustainability and Challenge.

Alina, 31, Italy

With IrRADIARE I got a new perspective of the environment and started thinking about sustainable economy. At the university, they taught us that the main goal is to GDP growth and maximize profits in companies. But in today's environmental crisis, nature and sustainability need to be taken into account.

Mária, 24, Slovakia

I choose IrRADIARE, because after my graduation I wanted to find a first real job in the area which I was studying, which means International Relations and the European Union.

The most funny thing that happened to me was in the first days as intern in IrRADIARE. I was working in the office when suddenly I felt that something under the table was licking my leg.
