The European Institute of Policy Research and Human Rights (EIPRHR) offers internships of three to six months for university graduates and early-stage researchers from Europe and world-wide.
The internship programme is intended to provide the trainees with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of European affairs and to have close insights into the daily work of the European institutions in Brussels.
Therefore, it constitutes an excellent experience for graduates aspiring to pursue a career in the area of European politics and related fields. The added value of an internship with The European Institute of Policy Research and Human Rights (EIPRHR) is that as the Centre is a young and evolving organization, the traineeship gives a unique opportunity for the trainees to test their capacities and to see their ideas have a real impact in a dynamic environment.
The internship is focused on immersing the successful candidates in the short-term and long-term policy research and other activities of the Centre: organizing meetings and conferences, preparing reports and analysis, editing publications including the European View, updating the website, blog and databases, communicating with organizations and government institutions in policy research and other activities, and liaising with officials from the European Institutions.
The programme is open to all graduates with an academic background in European affairs and related fields holding a university degree, fluent in English, fully computer and internet literate. Additional educational qualifications, experience in policy research in policy research and adequate knowledge of one or two more languages are considered assets.
Internships are remunerated on a level comparable to the internship programmes offered at the European institutions. There is no application deadline, applications are accepted on a rolling basis and internships are granted depending on demand throughout the year.
