HIVE Summer Internships 2025-26

CALL FOR PROJECT PROPOSALS

The HIVE Summer Internship Program provides an opportunity for motivated students to gain valuable research project experience in visualisation related topics during a paid summer internship. Interns are supervised by leading researchers and undertake challenging research projects utilising the high-tech resources provided by the Curtin HIVE. Projects can come from any research field.

Eligible students have completed 2nd year through to PhD and can be on Bentley campus through the summer. The scholarship award to students is $7500 per student.

The primary supervisor must be an academic staff member at Curtin University. Academic primary supervisors host intern students over the 10-week period. HIVE Visualisation Specialists are assigned to each project to give technical, visualisation and project support. Students have access to the HIVE two afternoons a week, with additional access available upon request. Workshops are delivered by the HIVE team throughout the program, to support student development.

All projects must demonstrate use of visualisation and HIVE facilities, to be considered.
