Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Analysis of European countries (France & Spain) looking at the potential hydrogen customers and also potential hydrogen competition in the area. Also looking at potential policies and subsidies available, and the feasibility of a hydrogen supply.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given an important role and given the chance to present to large groups of people but this was always supervised so wasn't necessarily left to my own devices.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed the internship but found that it was quite long and considering a lot of staff went on holiday so was left at a loose end for a few weeks, they should make the internship shorter so staff can go on holiday without compromising the experience of the internship as it made i disjointed. The actual content of the internship was interesting and cutting edge so that was enjoyable - just maybe 2 weeks shorter!
