Insights into an internship at the FES Regional Office for Cooperation and Peace in Europe
We treat our interns as members of our team and try to give them an insight in our current research and policy advice activities. We also give interns the opportunity to take part in workshops/meetings if they take place in Vienna. There is no “typical internship” and no “typical set of tasks” since our projects differ. Depending on the skills of the intern, responsibilities may include:
- Desk research
- Literature review
- Assistance with administrative tasks and project management
- Copy-editing
- Minutes of meeting or summaries of events
- Participation in regular team meetings
- Work with statistics and data
- Work with social media, audio and video
- Co-authorship of policy papers
