Internship Details
The 2026 internship openings have already been posted on the official ITRI internship application page. The page also explains that students who do not see a position matching their research area can send their CV or resume together with their preferred internship dates to talent@itri.org.tw.
For summer placements, interns should be available for at least 10 weeks between May and September. Longer internships of 4–6 months can take place throughout the year. The source states that dates remain flexible and are finalized case by case according to both student and department needs, so applicants should mention their desired internship dates in the application.
