This summer, 31 interns from five U.S. universities- BYU BYU , Lehigh University Lehigh University , Indiana University Indiana University , Rhode Island College RhodeIslandCollege , and the University of Pittsburgh University of Pittsburgh - joined the SiPN Summer Internship Program.
Representing a wide range of academic backgrounds, students were placed in 20 Portuguese organizations, including NGOs, companies, and institutions, where they gained hands-on experience aligned with their career goals and fields of study.
The program culminated in a final presentation where interns shared their projects, insights, and personal growth alongside the supervisors who guided them throughout the summer.
We are grateful to our partner organizations for helping create meaningful learning experiences and fostering connections between students and Portugal. Those students interned in 20 Portuguese placements that align with their career expectations and knowledge; by the end of the program, they presented what they had learned with the participation of their supervisors.

Another Faculty-Led Program has come to a close!
Led by Professor Lisa Dickson from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC ), this program explored International Labor Economics with an emphasis on Gender and the Economy.

Throughout their time in the Algarve, students engaged with the Universidade do Algarve , connected with its academic community, and gained firsthand insight into the region’s unique social and economic landscape.
From examining local labor market dynamics to exploring the Algarve’s tourism sector and growing blue economy, this immersive experience encouraged students to reflect on migration, community impact, and sustainable economic development through a new lens.

Our cohort of UC Berkeley interns has reached the end of their program! During 7 weeks, students immersed themselves in a truly entrepreneurial internship, working alongside startups incubated at Instituto Pedro Nunes, working on engineering tasks, business development, and communication. From Marketing to AI Compliance or SimRacing!
On their final presentation day, they showed how they can build a board game to explain AI compliance issues, how to create actual go-to-market strategies, how to modulate fire and flood scenarios, or how resilient you need to become when approaching cold emailing potential customers.
Thank you Prof. Walter Rossas from the Universidade de Coimbra , for welcoming students and helping them understand Portuguese culture.

For the past 10 years, we have proudly had a summer program in the Azores.

This summer, our program culminated at Vaga (Space for Art and Knowledge) in Ponta Delgada, where students from RISD, Brown, and Yale presented projects that blended sustainability with local identity. Highlights included the creation of 3D bio-material tiles from local invasive plants for a new butterfly pavilion at BioKairos, and student Beth Bonenfant’s deeply personal play tracing her Azorean family roots. Each project reflected the power of community-driven design.

Thank you to our amazing faculty— Laura Briggs and Jonathan Knowles , and Edie Emanuela Meidav —for all their hard work and commitment to this program, and for standing in for us on the field!

Cheers to 10 years of partnership with the Universidade dos Açores - UAc
