WE ACADEMIC INTERNSHIPS & CARRERS
Water Europe is regularly welcoming academic interns in the fields of communication, advocacy, science and technology. The objective of the internship is to give you a first-hand experience of the day-to-day working environment in a Brussels-based European multi-stakeholder association like Water Europe.
You will have the opportunity to work with our people. As part of our team, working directly with outstanding and inspiring career professionals and senior management, you will be exposed to the EU institutions, participate in meetings, and contribute to analytical work. Initially, you will take on the amount of responsibility you can shoulder; the potential for growth, however, is yours to develop.
