Additionally, it was very gratifying to receive feedback on each task I completed in the project to which I was assigned. The company environment is very welcoming, providing an incredible experience interacting with interns from different countries.Over these three months, I was able to improve my soft skills, such as teamwork, enhance my English, and acquire new skills in programming, as well as gain valuable experience in what it's like to work in a company.

Lorenzo, Italy

My six week internship at IrRADIARE has been my first experience of living and working abroad and I have to say that it has been challenging for me in many different ways. It wasn’t always easy for me to adapt to this work environment and also the working structure which is very different to what I was used to. I’m very thankful for this as this new work and life situation has helped me to grow personally and to learn to be more independent.

Jannes, Germany

My stay at IrRADIARE will hardly be forgettable; I guess certain memories will always find a place in my heart. Stepping across the office door for the first time brought about feelings I will never forget: a young and cosy atmosphere that made me feel welcome and safe. I was lucky enough to share my time here with brilliant, friendly, kind colleagues and I was able to appreciate the diversity of each of them in terms of culture and background. On a working basis, I could follow the Euro-projecting process from the earliest stages up to witnessing ideas gradually come to life. I was able to deepen my knowledge on topics such as energy transition, digitalisation of cities, protection of biodiversity. Last but not least, being able to end the working day at the beach, facing the ocean at sunset is something that will hardly ever happen again. Final words go to Lisbon, which was the perfect setting for this experience: a city with a vibrant cultural scene, where you can witness so many concerts and events, and that made me feel at home from the very beginning. None of this can be described in words: come and try it for yourself!

I consider my 4 months experience in IrRADIARE as a valuable milestone in my life. Everyone made me feel like a part of the team from the very first moment. The environment of the company was amazing and everyone was really helpful.

My internship was based on a research topic concerning the use of a geographic information system software coupled with environmental indicators.

I developed technical skills on the QGIS software which will be essential for my future career as this type of software is used in many companies and research departments in my field of activity. I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to work on the company's site because of the health situation, but the people I was able to talk to and work with were always available and benevolent to me. Company meetings were organized every week to keep in touch with each other.

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.

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

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.

IrRADIARE has exceeded my expectations: not only I have worked on the field of sustainability and development, but I have also found life-long friends and an amazing team. Here I felt at home, even if my real home is far away from Lisbon.

Fulvia Iannotta, 22, Italy

My goal in IrRADIARE was to learn how national and european environmental projects work. Also I wanted to learn and improve my portuguese until I could be an advanced portuguese speaker.

Aura, 25, Spain

My experience in IrRADIARE has been really good, I’ve been learning a lot of stuff about graphic design and content development for social networks. The office is super calm and friendly. We feel like home here!

Mónica Silva, 20, Portugal

Until now my experience in IrRADIARE has been positive, I’ve learned different ways to improve my designing skills. The company's work space is very relaxed and friendly, everyone gets along and help each other.

Débora Barros, 20, Portugal

I applied through a government program for a summer internship. So far I've learned a lot about communication network, digital content and social media management. This experience has made a huge impact in my resume!

Rebeca, 20, Portugal

In IrRADIARE I learned a lot of things about programming, electronics and networks. With this experience I accomplished other things like working in an office that is so calm and friendly and also making friends from other countries.

Inês, 20, Portugal

I applied because I was looking for a formative experience in the field of European project planning for sustainability and development, and IrRADIARE was among the best options I found. 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.

Pier Paolo, 24, Italy

“Inclusion” is the first word which bumps into my mind. No matter how old you are or where you're from, you will always feel part of this team from the very first day. IrRADIARE is a 100% proactive company and is a stimulating work place. Surely memorable!

Michela, 24, Italy

I met IrRADIARE because of the Erasmus European Program. When I applied I had an interview via skype and without nothing I was in Portugal!

Manuel, 24, Spain

I found IrRADIARE in an internship website after searching for many months. When I read the job description I found the opportunity interesting for me to both visit Portugal and work with environmental engineering.

Irem, 21, Turkey

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. I was also impressed by the references about this company, which were given to me by my friend, who previously worked here. IrRADIARE represents a perfect combination of what I was looking for: professional experience, development of my skills and also location in the beautiful country of Portugal.

Martina, 24, Slovakia

My friend recommended me this internship and provided contact information. I liked the experience of my friend, so I sent my CV to IrRADIARE via email and successfully got in.

Stanislava, 24, Slovakia

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. Then I looked under the desk and I met the mascot of our company - Sebastião. I was shocked because I have never seen a dog in an office, but now I know that IrRADIARE is a dog-friendly company.

Lukas, 24, Slovakia

My main goal when I applied to IrRADIARE was to gain international experience while improving both my English and my Portuguese in a context of multiculturality, interdisciplinarity and sustainability.

Emílio, 23, Spain

I choose IrRADIARE because it’s a company that takes care of sustainability and European projects. They are known for receive a lot of European students and so it was the perfect occasion to explore this topics in a good environment.

Chiara, 23, Italy

In Slovak I met a girl that did her internship in IrRADIARE. We had a talk and she told me about the company which she recommended to me. I didn´t hesitate and wrote an email to Elsa Nunes. The hiring process was smooth and I am glad that now I can do my internship here.

Tatiana, 24, Slovakia
