The Max Planck Institutes for Biological Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems as well as the AI Center in Tübingen (Germany) offer up to 10 students at the Bachelor or Master level paid three-months internships during the summer of 2025. Successful applicants will work with top-level scientists on research projects spanning machine learning, electrical engineering, theoretical neuroscience, behavioral experiments, robotics, and data analysis. The CaCTüS Internship is aimed at young scientists who are held back by personal, financial, regional, or societal constraints to help them develop their research careers and gain access to first-class education. The program is designed to foster inclusion, diversity, equity, and access to excellent scientific facilities. We specifically encourage applications from students living in low- and middle-income countries which are currently underrepresented in the Max Planck Society research community.</span><span
