Overview
The EUI was born out of an atmosphere of cooperation, with notable advocacy for a European institute at the Hague Conference in 1948 and the European Cultural Conference the following year. From time to time the Institute offers traineeships to young people wishing to gain some professional experience in an international environment. The traineeships are filled according to the Institute's needs and its decision on awarding these traineeships is final.
Details
Do you want to gain professional experience at the leading institute in Europe dedicated to social sciences and humanities?
Every year, the European University Institute (EUI) publishes a number of traineeship opportunities for motivated talents from various academic and professional backgrounds.
This is a unique opportunity to work in a field of your choice, building your career in an international and multicultural research organisation with a worldwide academic reputation, while enjoying the cultural, social and recreational facilities in one of the most vibrant cities in the world, Florence.
The EUI offers two types of traineeships:
- A paid traineeship of one year, or
- An unpaid traineeship of a maximum length of 3 months
Why a traineeship at the EUI
Under the supervision of an experienced traineeship supervisor within an assigned unit and team, you will:
- Gain a general overview of the goals of the EUI, a unique international research organisation for doctorate and post-doctorate studies and research;
- Get first-hand experience of the activities of the EUI and its units;
- Apply knowledge, acquired during your studies or professional occupation;
- Develop new professional and personal skills through the daily work of the EUI’s units;
- Contribute to exciting projects and activities within a diverse, multicultural, multilingual, and multinational environment.
The nature of your work will depend on the unit you are assigned to.
Traineeships may occur in the Library, in the ICT Service, at the Historical Archives of the European Union, in the academic units, or in one of the central administration services, including the office of the EUI Legal Advisor and Data Protection Officer.
