We are looking for an intern to assist us in our Brussels office on organizing the content, logistics and promotion of the numerous events AER organises throughout the year. Under the supervision of the AER membership and institutional relations’ coordinator, the intern will identify the right speakers, work on the meetings’ formats and contribute to the content and management of the website and digital tools’. Finally, the intern will assist the team in general office management tasks.

The AER offers interns the opportunity to:

  • be in contact with high ranking politicians and opinion-leaders
  • learn about regionalisation and related current European political issues
  • work in a dynamic, multinational and multicultural environment
  • develop personal responsibility and initiative
