2025 ASPIRE Summer Student Program in Netherlands ASPIRE will be a 6-week on-site programme in Amsterdam for highly-motivated students to work at the cutting-edge of astronomical research at the Anton Pannekoek Institute (API), University of Amsterdam. Our goal is to give you the experience of astronomical research at a world-leading institute and help kick-start your journey into a science career and all the other avenues it can open. You’ll gain new research skills and an advisor who will be your guide and mentor. We are especially seeking students whose opportunities to access to such experiences are currently limited. At the API, we recognise that our strengths and successes come from the diversity of our researchers, whose unique personalities, backgrounds, cultures and talents enhance our progress in science and are key to the identity of our institute. We therefore invite all students from across the world, who are currently engaged in (or recently completed) an MSc programme, to apply to ASPIRE. We are especially keen to welcome students from countries and institutes where opportunities for research experience are scarce, and we further specifically encourage applications from groups whose talents are typically untapped and under-represented by astronomical institutes, including, but not limited to: people of colour, women, and students whose socio-economic background is underprivileged. 2025 ASPIRE Summer Student Program Synopsis Type: Internship Location: Amsterdam Duration: 6 weeks Funding Type: Fully Funded Eligible Countries: All Perks: Travel expenses, Visa costs, Accommodation, Subsistence and lodging Deadline: 10th March, 2025 Projects Students will participate in research projects under the guidance of faculty members.
