About Google Student Researcher Program 2026
The Google Student Researcher Program 2026 primary objective is to foster academic collaborations with students through research at Google.
The Google Student Researcher Program is intended for students enrolled in a full-time degree program in the EMEA region who will be returning to their degree program after the completion of the internship.
The program allows for flexibility beyond the limitations of our traditional internship program on aspects such as duration, time commitment, and working location with options for on-site or remote.
The topics student researchers work on tend to be open-ended and exploratory, and don’t always have a clear deliverable like a traditional internship would.
