Each year, the Committee of the Regions (CoR) offers a limited number of Cicero internships, which provide an opportunity to gain work experience in a European institution.
As a CoR intern, you will witness first-hand the dynamics of a multilingual and multinational institution. Within a small group of interns, you will not only be able to work on a wide range of EU policy issues, but you will also have the unique opportunity to create an event on your own.
Thanks to the unique YFactor programme, trainees are invited to carry out projects that address issues relevant to European regions and cities. Whether you decide to work on a conference, a podcast or an ebook, as a CoR trainee, your creativity will be stimulated and challenged!
