Internships
During summer 2025, four fully-funded interns joined the ICCS team for a period of eight weeks. Three worked on research and software engineering projects and the fourth worked with the Programme Manager of ICCS in a Science Communications role.
The projects:
- Communications for the Institute of Computing for Climate Science
- Prediction of the Evolution of Forest Fire and Associated Impacts
- Fluid: A Programming Language for Transparent, Self-Explanatory Research Outputs
- Identifying Sand and Dust Storm Source Regions in the Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and Predicting their Genesis Using Machine Learning.
Our 2025 interns’ experiences
"Overall, I have come away from this project with a broader view of the process that goes into data-driven modelling in environmental research, as well as experience training models (and fixing them when they break!)."
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as an intern at ICCS, through which I have been given the opportunity to collaborate with one of the leading researchers in the machine learning for climate field. Both the research and networking opportunities have been invaluable. This experience has been electric, and one I would highly recommend to anyone considering applying in the future!"
"Science communication is incredibly important these days, when there’s so much misinformation out there – and this is especially true for climate science. I would definitely recommend this internship for anyone interested in getting experience in science communication."
