The internships proposed are aimed at students of all nationalities who are registered with a French higher education establishment and come from an EU Member or Associate State or any other country outside the European Union.

All requests for internships result in a three-way contract between INRAE, the teaching establishment and the trainee. This contract must notably stipulate the conditions governing the coverage of trainees with respect to occupational accidents.

Trainees can be recruited at any time during the year.
