"A year ago I was encouraged to apply for a traineeship at EPO, the European Patent Office. After familiarising myself with EPO, I got excited about the idea of getting to know an international organisation of this magnitude and was confident I would learn a lot should I get an opportunity to train there. The traineeship offered experience in my chosen field of studies at the University of Iceland and the chance to work with capable and experienced professionals in that field. So far, the traineeship has met all my expectations and, though Covid has impacted the process in the past months, the institution has been flexible and solution oriented. As I mentioned, the traineeship has delivered and not in the least Munich itself, which I have found a fantastic city. People from all over Europe are participating in the programme and actively schedule trips and events. I wholeheartedly recommend people to go for it and apply because getting to know the ins and outs of such a big organisation has been a really fun and rewarding experience".
