Internship Programmes
Our Internship Programme aims at offering to outstanding undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to experience the day-to-day work of an international research centre that acts as a global forum for policy dialogue and knowledge sharing in development innovations. It is designed to contribute to the training of new professionals and facilitate their entry in the labour market. It also seeks to provide support to the IPC-IG's applied research activities, policy advisory services, and communications outreach, among other tasks. This opportunity will complement the interns’ own practical experience in various areas related to centre’s thematic areas. In addition, our programme offers the possibility of further involvement in the United Nations System. The Internship Programme operates under the rules and policies of the UNDP Internship Regulations.
