The student undertakes not to transmit to third parties the proprietary data or information obtained during the internship without the prior consent of the company. This obligation also applies to the internship report for the departments that need it. To ensure the smooth running of the academic process, the student must register the information relating to his internship or master`s project on ISA (the academic registration platform of the school). Students must submit their internship agreement to the internship coordinator before the start of the internship, especially when the internship is abroad or in a company that is not listed in the register. In this case, students should contact the internship coordinator at an early stage and send a draft job description. Students must submit the internship agreement to the internship coordinator no later than the second week of their internship. For approval, students must send the internship agreement to the internship coordinator after the document has been signed by the student and the company supervisor.
The internship coordinator reviews and approves the agreement in consultation with the professor. The internship contract is returned to the student as soon as all the necessary signatures have been collected. It is the responsibility of any student wishing to carry out an internship abroad to find out about the necessary legal and health requirements of his destination, in particular with regard to a visa or a residence permit. He must take care of all the necessary administrative formalities (visa, work permit, vaccinations, etc.). In general, the host company or sponsoring agency (USA) offers support, but the responsibility for all these requirements remains with the student (and/or employer), not the school. For addresses, written approval of the internship agreement is required by the internship coordinator and teachers. The internship agreement can be submitted to the internship coordinator in paper or digital form. The use of EPFL`s facilities, resources and data, software and other intangible assets during the internship is only permitted with the written permission of the internship coordinator of his department. .
