Language notes
Interns must be fluent (that means able to draft reasonably complicated texts) in English with a conversational ability in French~ or vice versa.
Application process
Please note that because of the backlog of applications there can be a considerable delay between your application and the start of your internship: Internships are almost never available at short notice. Six to 12 months of waiting time are not unusual. To apply, send a CV of two to three pages and a cover letter explaining your interests and motivation. Additional documents such as diplomas, certificates or letters of reference from a university professor or former employer can be submitted at a later stage.
