Корпорация IBM объявляет о начале конкурса для студентов на прохождение стажировки в исследовательских лабораториях IBM в Цюрихе (Швейцария), Хайфе (Израиль) и Дублине (Ирландия). Конкурс организован для студентов из Восточной и Центральной Европы в целях отбора кандидатов для занятия позиции в интернатуре исследовательских лабораторий IBM в Цюрихе (Швейцария) или Хайфе (Израиль) и Дублине (Ирландия). Интернатура предоставляет студентам уникальную возможность работать вместе с исследователями IBM и проявить свои способности в одной из передовых исследовательских организаций мира в области информационных технологий. Интернатура будет проходить в 2014 году. Точное время начала и окончания будет согласовано со студентами победителями конкурса, с учетом их интересов и рабочим графиком сотрудников лаборатории. Лаборатория оплачивает зачисленным в интернатуру студентам транспортные расходы, а также компенсацию проживания во время прохождения интернатуры. Хорошей новостью этого года является присоединение к программе лаборатории IBM в Дублине, фокусирующей свои исследования на проблемах городского хозяйства. Для участия в конкурсе студент должен быть номинирован преподавателем через представителя IBM в России и СНГ. С этой целью необходимо направить до 5 марта 2014 года рекомендательное письмо и документы кандидатов. Временной график дан в приложении. Рекомендации по подготовке заявки можно найти на сайтах Исследовательских лаборатории IBM в Цюрихе и Хайфе: http://www.zurich.ibm.com/greatminds/faculty.html http://www.zurich.ibm.com/greatminds/students.html C момента запуска инициативы "Великие умы" в 2007 году через интернатуру прошло более 40 студентов, стажировавшихся в течение трех-шести месяцев. Оценки с обеих сторон были положительными. Студентам интернатура позволила получить представление о реальных проблемах отрасли и практический опыт. Они вернулись, получив знания о передовых технологиях IBM, а также контактах в IBM Research.
