If you are interested to host an internship, please, contact innovation@osi.lv or any of the contacts listed below.

• Upon selection of the intern and the host institution, the contact person of the sending organisation will arrange preparation of the Internship Agreement.
• A model Internship Agreement has been drafted (see below) as a framework that is both legally appropriate and attractive to our industry partners, ensuring the smooth realization of the programme.
• The sending institution and the host institution are encouraged to use and amend the existing model agreement according to the needs and specifics for each internship.
