Every summer, several students have the opportunity to work for one month – during the months of July, August or September – at VLIZ on various projects and new initiatives. Among others:

• the provision of logistical support to marine researchers;
• the development of data infrastructures and marine data management;
• the development of web applications;
• the sharing of marine information with various target groups;
• the development of (digital) content such as video, infographics, websites, etc.;
• the acquisition, disclosure and reorganisation of marine scientific information in the library;
• the support of a sustainable and scientifically founded coastal and marine policy.

Candidates are offered pleasant working conditions and an appropriate salary. We ask for an open and dynamic attitude, as well as a high sense of quality. Knowledge of the sea and/or marine sciences, or of specific aspects of data management or communication is an advantage. Students of marine-related training have a certain preference.
