Stages bij de instellingen en agentschappen van de EU

Stages bij de Europese instellingen gelden als een echte kans voor afgestudeerden. Het stageprogramma biedt een uniek inkijkje in het werk van de EU-instellingen en trekt kandidaten uit heel Europa aan. Ben je geïnteresseerd in Europees bestuur en internationale betrekkingen? Wil je praktijkervaring opdoen met het ontwikkelen van beleid dat van invloed is op miljoenen mensen? Dan raden we je aan om te solliciteren op een stageplek. Stages worden twee keer per jaar georganiseerd en duren normaal gesproken vijf maanden. De stages bij de EU zijn betaald. De toelage is afhankelijk van de instelling waar je stage loopt (ongeveer 1 300 euro per maand).
 

Hoe ziet een stage bij de EU eruit?

Stages zijn bedoeld voor afgestudeerden die kennis willen maken met de kernactiviteiten van de Europese Unie. Je kunt stage lopen bij verschillende instellingen, agentschappen en organen van de EU. Hier werk je mee aan projecten die aansluiten op je ervaring en vakgebied. Het stageprogramma geeft je waardevolle inzichten in de besluitvorming en het beleid van de EU. Ook biedt het je de mogelijkheid om contacten te leggen met professionals, ervaring op te doen met een dynamische en multiculturele werkomgeving en waardevolle vaardigheden te ontwikkelen voor de rest van je loopbaan.

Er zijn stages op allerlei gebieden, van openbaar bestuur tot cyberbeveiliging, van de digitale transformatie tot gezondheidskwesties, van wetgeving en ruimtevaart tot economisch beleid en klimaatverandering. Je kunt ook kiezen voor een vertaalstage of een stage op het gebied van communicatie, human resources of diplomatie.

Dit is de kans om je professionele vaardigheden te verbeteren, samen te werken in multiculturele teams, een grote bijdrage te leveren aan projecten die ertoe doen en je te ontwikkelen op persoonlijk vlak.
