The European Council on Foreign Relations runs a small internship scheme in its Berlin, London and Paris offices. The role varies, but may include research assistance, administrative tasks and organisational work. The duration of the internships varies from 3 to 6 months. Candidates should be recent graduates or current students in International Relations, Politics, European Studies or other related disciplines, preferably with a proven understanding of EU institutions, office skills and languages. They should be fluent in English and either German (for an internship in the Berlin office) or French (for an internship in the Paris office). The scheme is unpaid but we do make a modest contribution towards travel and other expenses. All internship opportunities will be advertised on this website and interested candidates should send their applications directly to the relevant office.
