EUTOPIA TeamWork

Apply by filling out the form below and submitting it by the deadline. 

To assist in preparing participants, EUTOPIA offers an onboarding program. There will be a mandatory “PreWork” session at GU related to intercultural collaborations and teamwork.

There are also two planned online sessions for 1 hour each; these will be for all students participating in TeamWork. Additionally, you’ll get access to resources you can use throughout the project. Resources include educational videos, documents, links, and more that you can benefit from before, during and after the project period.

Finally, there will also be a mandatory introduction session with your mentor organization and team closer to the start of the project period.

We assign you to a project based on the information provided in your application. We strive to match your wishes, while also ensuring that each group has a good mix of skills and students from the partner universities. This is why it is so important to let us know about your skills and interests in your application.

This will be announced later. Based on experience, they have ranged from small local organisations to large multinational companies.

English will be the common language used in teams and with host organizations. Most other participants will not have English as their first language, and many contacts from the host organizations will not have English as their native language.

It may be helpful if you know other languages, or you may want to practice your language skills socially with others on your team, but it is not necessary. 

The projects are designed for students from all disciplines to contribute. Therefore, we expect that you, as an applicant, are flexible and interested in the structure and goals of TeamWork.

During the four-week project period, you are expected to dedicate approximately 10 hours per week. This includes team meetings, meetings with the project mentor, and your individual input. You are expected to be active and communicative with your team. The mandatory onboarding program takes about 5 hours total, spread over different sessions.

Students from the University of Gothenburg will not be paid for participating in TeamWork. However, the program is designed to allow you to combine a summer job with your participation in TeamWork.

Absolutely. Just make sure that if you are in a different time zone, it works for you and your participation in the project.
