In recent months, BUILT CoLAB has been hosting internships for international students in a business environment.
The French students, Romain Colleau and Mathilde Andre, and the German students, Jan-Philipp Binz and Matthias März, came to BUILT CoLAB with degrees in architecture and civil engineering, and under different agreements, with the common goal of gaining experience in a business environment. As part of their academic training, some came individually to do the internship, while others came through a collaboration with FEUP, their host institution in Portugal.
BUILT CoLAB, as a collaborative laboratory with an intrinsic link to both the Academy and the AEC sector, has been enabling students to get in touch with both realities. From BUILT CoLAB’s perspective, this is yet another way of continuing to encourage the transfer of knowledge between the parties, enabling it to continue to fulfil its mission.
