  • Abstract
    Initiatives aimed to promote best practices in company internships in the emerging EHEA are presented. They have been implemented in the new curricula of the School of Industrial and Telecommunications Engineering of the Public University of Navarre. They imply a redefinition of the way these actions were formerly designed. The most salient features of the new approach are the key role played by the acquisition of competences, focus on learning objectives and a more comprehensive grading system.
