JRCZ Data Science Lab

Internships

We offer a variety of internships, mostly focused on student studying digital topics, such as software engineering, system administration and graphical design.

The lab consists of three rooms that are purposefully built to support data visualization, collaboration and interaction. Depending on the project needs and stage, we can use the different areas to full effect. Think of our 3D-enabled 6m wide curved LED wall for example!

The way we run projects is comparable to a project consultancy bureau: we try to gather as many cool projects as we can, and then work on them with students, interns and researchers from Scalda and HZ. So depending on what project you’re interning on, your client might range from a Nursing teacher to a startup to a governmental policy advisor!
