BIOFUND began in 2017 a programme of professional interns with students from Mozambican universities on internships lasting for 6 months. BIOFUND is welcoming Jéssica Julaia (degree in Marine, Aquatic and Coastal Biology) and Zaina Muita (degree in Ecology and  Conservation of Terrestrial Biodiversity), both graduates from the Eduardo Mondlane University, who were the winners of the 1st competition for BIOFUND internships. This group also includes Eng. Susana Ferreira Silva (Science and Technology Faculty of the New University of Lisbon) under the INOV Contacto programme (cooperation programme between Mozambique and Portugal) in partnership with the BIOFUND Technical Assistance project.
