The Hague, Tuesday, 4 February 2025.
TNO is offering new internships in The Hague, focusing on AI-driven dynamic code optimization for sustainable software. This initiative supports eco-friendly advancements in the tech industry.
Dynamic AI Code Optimization Initiative
Starting March 2025, TNO will launch a comprehensive internship program focused on sustainable software development and AI optimization at their headquarters in The Hague [1]. The program, offering a monthly allowance of €615 and running for 6 to 9 months [1], aims to address the growing concern of energy consumption in software applications. This initiative is part of TNO’s broader mission to enhance the Netherlands’ position in sustainable technology innovation [2].
Research Focus and Innovation Goals
The internship program will be conducted within TNO’s Data Science department, specifically targeting green IT solutions [1]. Interns will engage in cutting-edge research, including the evaluation of generative AI models and the development of software optimization tools [1]. The program aligns with TNO’s established reputation in sustainable innovation, building upon their 93 years of experience in applied research [2].
Candidate Requirements and Application Process
Prospective interns must be enrolled in a Master’s program in AI or computer science and possess strong programming skills, particularly in Python [1]. The application deadline is set for February 15, 2025 [1]. Candidates must be willing to relocate to the Netherlands, as the internship requires a Dutch residential address and cannot be performed remotely [1]. TNO emphasizes its commitment to professional development, ensuring proper supervision throughout the internship period [4].
TNO’s Broader Impact on Sustainable Technology
This initiative is part of TNO’s larger commitment to sustainability and innovation, operating with a workforce of over 5,357 professionals [2]. The organization’s focus on green software development complements their other sustainable technology initiatives, including recent advancements in semiconductor innovation presented to Minister Dirk Beljaarts on January 30, 2025 [2]. The program demonstrates TNO’s dedication to combining technological advancement with environmental responsibility [2].
