The Entity that applies to host Inov Contacto interns shall ensure the following
requirements:
Provide the intern with professional training at the
entity’s premises, as it does for its own employees and shall provide: Working
conditions, training and the necessary support to achieve the goals set by the
Inov Contacto Program and the defined internship plan;
Allocate a work area with all the necessary equipment, namely a
computer for intern’s working activities;
Allow the intern to have access to his/her email account and Inov
Contacto’s online platform NetworkContacto, since it is his/her main line of

and deliver any reports that may be requested by AICEP;
Ensure that the internship will take place in the Host Entity's premises,
either in Portugal or abroad, or in another place previously checked by AICEP;

the intern is moved more than 50 km from his/her area of residence (this is mandatory
only if the entity chooses to host the intern in Portugal during the first phase of
the internship);
Support all costs related to business travel during the internship
abroad. If the business travel implies entering a different country, then it
shall be previously agreed with the coordinating team of Inov Contacto so that

Host Entity shall provide all visa and other necessary and related arrangements;
Follow the objectives and work plan in accordance with the description
and tasks included in the internship plan;
Assign an internship supervisor, both in Portugal (if applicable) and

regarding the intern’s performance and level of accomplishment of the internship
plan;

and/or it becomes impossible to carry on the internship itself;
