Internship
Programme
at UNICO
Are you a student interested in innovation, technology, and how research turns into real-world impact?
At UNICO, we offer internships for students who want to learn how technologies in the early stages of development, startups, and research projects work from the perspective of business, the market, and intellectual property.
You will not be making coffee or doing busywork. Interns at UNICO work on real projects: market analysis, business validation, freedom-to-operate, and preparation of analytical outputs for startups, universities, and public institutions across Europe.

At UNICO, PhD candidates can pursue an industrial doctorate, combining academic research with hands-on work at our company.
