Degree students from any University can produce their Graduation Project (GP), either during the summer months or throughout the school year, provided that the credits required by their University for this purpose are covered. Each student will be assigned a tutor, a researcher at the centre, who will be responsible for directing their work during the period required to produce their GP. The centre will accept students whose University has a formal agreement with the Institute and the length of their internship will depend on the requirements established by their University with respect to ECTs or credits for dedication to the project. Formalities of the GP internship:

• It is indispensable that the University from which the student comes has a Framework Agreement with the HRI Biodonostia. Should no agreement exist with the University in question, formalities will be initiated for its formalisation.
• Submission of the Appendix to the Framework Agreement, specific for each student, with all 3 signatures: the University, the receiving centre and the student.
