@CencaBridge Not really. Do you already have some advisors lined up? Who choses which student goes where? How long is the program? What accreditation is given?

Our remote internship will soon open! And we'd love your help finding advisors for wonderful Central American & Caribbean undergraduate students to work on an astronomy project of your choosing. If interested please fill out this form forms.gle/CWThnhMv6b4nBS… for questions dm us☀️

@astrobellatrix Thanks for your questions! We're not tied to any specific institution or topics. Cenca Bridge connects students with advisors around the world. Since advisors are volunteers and each cohort of students have different interests, the topics and institutions vary. Hope this helps!

@CencaBridge What are the topics and with which institutions is this research being done with? There is not much information given here?

C'était un honneur pour moi de représenter fièrement mon Université #ESIH, la région Caribéenne et Haïti dans ce programme de stage à distance organisé en recherches Astrophysiques par @CencaBridge qui a pris fin le samedi 3 décembre 2022 suite à ma présentation finale.@IAU_org

We are now done with the presentations! Thank you everyone so much! The students for their hard work, their mentors, and supervisors because without them this program wouldn’t be able to happen. We also thank the @Astro4Dev for their help We are very excited to see you next year!
