Applications are now open for the ITRI Global Internship Program 2025, hosted by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). This prestigious program invites international students to engage in cutting-edge research across various fields, including technology and innovation, for 2–6 month internships.

Eligible applicants must be enrolled university students with a non-Taiwanese passport.
