IAESTE Switzerland – all-round service for internship placements
Since its foundation in 1948, IAESTE Switzerland has been a part of an outstanding academic global exchange program. Everywhere around the world, about 4000 companies, 4000 students and 1200 universities benefit each year from the attractive IAESTE service. Indeed, in Switzerland alone, an average of 250 interns was successfully placed.
IAESTE is specialized in the placement of qualified students in technical and scientific disciplines. The program works according to the 1:1 principle: Each employer who offers a job via IAESTE creates at the same time a placement abroad for a Swiss student.
No matter if the study field is aeronautical engineering or microbiology – IAESTE will find the best candidate for each employer. It only takes the employer a few minutes to register online and to specify his required job profile. After a few clicks, he just has to wait until IAESTE makes a proposal for a suitable candidate to him. There will be no longer time-consuming reading of hundreds of application folders left.
Furthermore, IAESTE is taking care of visa and work permits and offers an international, daily increasing network from which students and employers can profit. Do you like to benefit from the expert knowledge of students and young professionals? Then register your internship workplace here: www.iaeste.ch

Text from the Article on ChemistryViews
Helma Wennemers received her PhD degree in 1996 from Columbia University, New York, USA, where she worked with Prof. W. Clark Still. She then carried out postdoctoral studies with Prof. Hisashi Yamamoto at Nagoya University, Japan. In 1999, she became assistant professor at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and was promoted to associate professor in 2003. Since 2011, she has been Professor of Organic Chemistry at the ETH Zürich.
Her research focuses on the development of small molecules for functions that are fulfilled by large macromolecules in nature. This includes bioinspired asymmetric catalysis, peptide-based materials, and the use of peptides as additives for the generation of silver nanoparticles.
