RIAS Research Internship
The RIAS regularly offers academic internships. These internships are usually either research-based or project-focused. They are meant to help the students fulfill the requirements of their academic programs and are arranged on a case-by-case basis.
Academic research internships are open to those students who are interested in combining a period of intensive research at the RIAS with the writing of their theses or research papers. These internships may also involve the cataloging and digitization of a specific RIAS source.
Project-focused internships require the students to help the RIAS staff with the organization of a public event or the management of a specific project. In this case, typical duties involve PR, online communication, and event participation.
The academic internship program is usually an equivalent of 7.5 ECTS, but it depends on students’ own academic programs’ requirements. For more information and expressions of interest, please contact us at info@roosevelt.nl.
