Professors (or permanent scientists) propose internship subjects they would be willing to sponsor academically. These subjects emanate from companies or research centers. Students can propose subjects, but these subjects must be approved by an academic sponsor.
Students' University registration must be complete by the time they start the internship.
Before the internship begins, the student has to send the completed internship agreement and the risk analysis form (cf. https://www.facsa.uliege.be/cms/c_3178752/fr/facsa-stages) to the internship coordinator.
