The Great Minds initiative is a competition for internship positions at IBM Research - Zurich, the European branch of IBM Research, aimed at students from central and eastern Europe. Its goal is to foster exceptionally skilled young students of computer science by giving them the unique opportunity to work alongside IBM researchers in one of the world's premier industrial IT research organizations.
The internships will take place in 2010. The exact starting time and duration will be agreed upon individually with the winning students, taking into account their academic commitments and the availability of IBM staff. IBM will pay the winners a travel allowance as well as compensation that covers adequately the cost of living in Switzerland.
The IBM Research Lab in Zurich is conducting the Great Minds internships for the third time. Read here to learn more about past winners and their experiences.
