Information for Centres

Dr. Sean Butler - CAS-IP Honorary Research Fellow

If you are interested in hosting a CAS @ Cambridge intern at your centre to assist with Intellectual Property Management issues please let us know. Contact us here or call +39 066118356

What CAS-IP requires from hosting centres:

Centres must provide a written commitment to CAS-IP regarding the hosting of an intern.  We require the following commitments from centres.

1. General commitments:

• Work with CAS-IP to finalise the terms of reference for the intern before a student is allocated
• Have a member of staff available during the internship period to supervise the placement
• Liaise directly with the student for travel arrangements
• Provide CAS-IP with feedback on the performance of the intern and their contribution to your centre

2. Financial commitments:

Interns are provided on a full cost recovery basis.  Although interns do not expect to earn any money during their placement, the aim is that they should not have to incur any expenses either. To this end we ask centres to cover all of the expenses associated with the student, which will generally include round trip flight, induction week in Rome, transfers, accomodation, per diem, visa fees and medical insurance.  The CAS team provides the mentoring while the Centre provides on the ground support.  Dr Sean Butler, the Director of Studies in Law at Cambridge, provides additional backstopping with the students throughout the term.
