Managing interns may seem like a simple activity for researchers, but this is less the case when it comes to working with people who have different skill sets. How do you determine the quality of the work? How to ensure the intern is motivated and engaged? What are some red flags that might be missed when dealing with non-technical positions? This session will help MIF teams get the most from their interns. To guide teams through this exercise, we have enlisted the support of two experts: Professor Niels Billou and Frances Arthur.
