In this blogpost, Loris Di Scipio shares his internship experience at Administration de la gestion de l’eau (AGE) in Luxembourg. Students of the Environmental Pollution Management (Ecotoxicology) Program complete an 8-week internship each year, the so-called “AMEO”. The AMEO is performed either at an external university, governmental or industrial research institute where students learn to apply the competences achieved during their study. Students also use this opportunity to not only travel and explore Germany, but also other countries!
