The internship aims to inform the students about the problems of agriculture in the various regions of the country.
It is carried out in the laboratories of the Foundation, in laboratories of state institutions, in services and institutions of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food or other Ministries with a related subject.
It is also carried out in agricultural cooperatives or in private companies and laboratories that, at the discretion of the Foundation, have the possibility of providing systematic experience and knowledge.
The internship is four months long and is carried out by the 3rd and 4th year (6th and 8th semester), 10th semester and graduate students, who each year carry out a two-month internship (in two consecutive years) or consecutively. Specifically, 3rd and 4th year students (6th and 8th semesters) can do the internship after the end of the spring semester exam and until September 30. Part of the internship, up to two (2) months can be carried out during the 10th semester of studies.
The relevant decision is taken by the General Assembly of the relevant Department based on specific requests of the students and criteria, which will be determined in accordance with the current legislation.
Students who have completed the 10th semester but have not completed the required time of practical training, can carry it out throughout the year.
The first two months of the internship is dedicated to gaining experience in agricultural practice and takes place outside the Institution.
The second two months of the internship can be done in the Foundation's workshops and tutorials as long as the necessary conditions for providing experience and knowledge are ensured.
