Technical Technical Behavioral Presentation
Had 2 technical interviews, they were pretty easy. Only the technical part matters. The interviewers are technical too. Then, there was an interview with an external HR person. The HR person was competent and open. They asked for a technical simplification exercise. If the hiring isn't guaranteed, the HR person's opinion makes the difference. Otherwise, it's not a priority.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I was contacted by the internship tutor via email to apply for an internship position, submitting my CV and cover letter. The internship supervisor then replied by email to schedule a phone interview. For the interview itself, it was quite standard: I presented the internship subject, the laboratory, and the research team. Then there were questions about my background, projects, education, and previous internships. I received a response the day after the interview.
