    The 3 months internship of students who are currently attending the Master's Degree in SLM aims at increasing their professionalization, by bringing together the scientific knowledge learnt during the frontal lessons with the practical aspects provided by the traineeship in order to guarantee the fulfillment of the objectives of the Master. The traineeship is an integral part of the Master program and instrumental to the objectives of the project acting as an additional support provided by the EU to reinforce the intervention logic of the ILHAM-EC project.
