Get paid while you study
The Trust and Identity Incubator Mentorship Programme is a seven month internship/work placement funded by the GÉANT GN5-1 project. It is hosted by a local NREN and offers students the chance to get paid while they study. The placement will be a maximum of three days per week and can be combined with thesis-writing. Both the student and local mentor will receive payment for their participation.
Learn from the best in the field
Students will develop their project under the guidance of the GÉANT T&I Incubator experts and a local mentor during the Incubator’s seven month development cycle. They may select a project of their own choice, or from a range of innovative concepts, products and services proposed by the T&I Incubator team.
Access the future of T&I talent

Hear from a previous student
Aleksandr Petrunin from TIM 23: “I have been actively involved in a project titled ‘Automation of deployment and configuration of the initial set of SPs for new federations’. This project has provided me with a unique opportunity to delve into the complexities of automation and configuration management, contributing significantly to my professional growth.
One aspect that stood out for me was the fact I was constantly pushing my limits, solving real-world problems and diving deeper into practice I couldn’t imagine. My academic background in Applied Computer Science has been instrumental in shaping my approach to the project.
The programme has honed my time management abilities, requiring me to efficiently allocate resources. Collaborative spirit within the incubator fostered effective communication and teamwork, refining my interpersonal skills. Problem-solving became second nature as I navigated through real-world challenges, fostering adaptability and critical thinking. The exposure to diverse tasks and technologies has broadened my skill set, providing a solid foundation for future pursuits. Overall, the TIM programme has not only equipped me with technical expertise, but has also cultivated a range of transferable skills crucial for success in any professional setting.”
