Internships & Volunteers

Interns are highly valued at ECRE and are central to our work. Interns are appointed for a period of six months, working in the ECRE Brussels office and are regarded as fully participating members of staff.

Interns undertake research and analysis, as well as monitoring European developments in the areas of refugee policy and human rights law. They are normally offered the opportunity to participate in one external meeting or training session organised by ECRE during their internship.

ECRE internships offer a good foundation of knowledge in refugee and asylum issues. Many interns have subsequently gone on to find employment in human rights or immigration related areas.
