Every year Europol offers a number of internship projects to provide individuals with the opportunity to learn more about the activities of our agency, and put their learning and skills into practice by contributing to Europol’s mission.
Our internship projects aim to enhance the interns’ educational and practical experience through structured work assignments with established objectives, to acquire or develop a particular expertise and an understanding of how Europol works.
