Science at the Lab

“Science at the Lab” program is an initiative promoted by Ciência Viva that aims to give high schools students an opportunity to get in touch with the reality of scientific and technological research, promoting summer internships in laboratories at national research institutions. This program raises students’ awareness of career opportunities in Science. Every year, since 1990, we welcome students who join several research groups and have the opportunity to conduct hands-on research under the mentorship of expert researchers.

Testimonies

"It gave me an immersive experience in a laboratory, which may help me decide my future in the near future."

Estagiário (2023)

"The best thing was really being able to have contact with the work of a researcher and the chance to get out of our comfort zone and take a step towards deciding what our future will be."

Estagiária (2023)

"The internship is very informative and we can really see how researchers work. Their explanations are detailed and they were always very patient with our questions, which is great for facilitating our learning. It's also great for us to understand whether we really like the field or not. In addition, we understand that not everything is a bed of roses, and that it takes many repetitions and many weeks to draw reliable conclusions."

Estagiário (2025)

"I discovered my possible future career and made friends I will never forget."

Estagiária (2025)

Estagiário (2025)

"Keep doing these internships and inspiring future generations."
