Is Portuguese required for this program?

You’ll be working closely with your supervisor who is fluent in both English and Portuguese, so no, Portuguese is not strictly necessary though it's certainly a bonus.

What do I need to bring?

Your own laptop is essential. You will also need to bring your own bedding, towels, and mosquito net though if necessary you can organize purchase of these items from the host before arrival.

What hours do interns work?

Interns will work a minimum of 30 hours a week. After their first month on the project interns will be permitted to book two vacation days per month.
