Gain research experience in a lab or research group at a university other than your own
LOT Lab Rotations offer RM students the possibility to gain research experience in a lab or research group at a university other than their own, and thus broaden their view on research practices. Students can gain 5 LOT credits in one lab rotation. Travel costs are covered by LOT for those students that do not have a public transport card already.
Students become external participants in a research environment at a LOT affiliated research institute in The Netherlands, become familiarised with the research being done in that group, and carry out a small project under the supervision of one or more senior researchers within that group.
Students interested in participating in this national exchange scheme should first contact their RM coordinator to discuss the desirability and feasibility of choosing this option, and then contact the coordinator of the lab or research group they want to visit to set up a plan, which should be approved by the RM coordinator. After the lab rotation the student writes a report. Once this report has been approved by the RM coordinator after consulting with the coordinator of the lab or research group that was visited, LOT is informed of the outcome of the lab rotation and provides a certificate to the student.
