Internships

IWGIA normally advertises for unpaid, communications internships in spring (April/May) for the autumn semester and in autumn (October/November) for the spring semester. Communications internships are advertised on our website, in our newsletter and via social media.

We do, on an ad-hoc basis take interns. In all cases, internships must be a formal part of your studies. Unfortunately, we do not have resources to render any kind of economic support, assistance with housing, etc.

We receive a large number of unsolicited applications for internships and volunteer work. Unfortunately we cannot follow up on all such requests; we hope for your understanding.

See more about our internship opportunity here. We are currently only seeking interns for 2024:
