Objective of the call for proposals
By funding technology platforms to host Master's-level trainees, this call offers the opportunity to train Master's students in the latest technologies, and promotes the scientific community's access to a cutting-edge technological offering for its research work.
This year, in support of its strategy of opening up to inter-institute collaborations, IM2B has decided to open up its "internships in technology platforms" call for proposals to inter-institute projects, to encourage the development of new interdisciplinary collaborations.
Given the IM2B's threefold objective of : to enhance the visibility of the technology platforms, to strengthen Master's training by developing interdisciplinarity and professionalization, and to encourage the initiation of new collaborations with other Aix Marseille Université interdisciplinary institutes, the IM2B is launching its call for projects aimed at financing, for the 2025-2026 academic year, up to 4 Master's 2 internships within the IM2B technology platforms, by encouraging the submission of projects conducted in collaboration with another platform or laboratory falling within the scope of another Aix Marseille Université interdisciplinary institutes.
These internships must meet the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Testimonials
IM2B financed my M2 chemistry internship, which I carried out between the "Protein Expression Facility" (PEF) technology platform and the "Bioenergetics and Protein Engineering" Laboratory (BIP). This work enabled me to acquire interdisciplinary skills that are in line with my professional project at the chemistry-biology interface, in particular as part of my PhD at BIP.
