Traineeships at the EUI
Every year, the European University Institute (EUI) offers 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 while enjoying the cultural, social, and recreational facilities in one of the most vibrant cities in the world, Florence (Italy).
The EUI offers two types of traineeship:
- A paid traineeship of one year, or;
- An unpaid traineeship of a maximum length of 3 months, when the traineeship is compulsory in the framework of the university studies.
Eligible applicants for paid traineeships should:
- Be nationals of the Member States of the European Union and of candidate countries benefiting from a pre-accession strategy;
- Have a good knowledge of English (CEFR level: B2 or above), and a satisfactory knowledge of another language of the EU.
- Have completed the first cycle of university studies and obtained a full degree or its equivalent by the closing date for applications.
- Have obtained their last university diploma no longer than 3 years prior to the deadline for applications. The 3 years rule is not applicable to trainees enrolled in further university studies at the moment of their application for the traineeship at the EUI.
To be considered for an unpaid traineeship, candidates should:
- Be currently enrolled in a recognised university degree programme.
