Responsibilities
The range of tasks of the interns includes political science as well as administrative and organisational assistance. Political science activities usually include assisting the research assistants in writing background reports on the Nordic countries, analysing specialist publications and the daily press, reporting to the Foundation's head office, conducting scientific research on selected topics and preparing factual reports for educational measures. The interns help out with office administration - for example, by maintaining the address database - and researching subject-specific contacts. In addition, they assist in the preparation and implementation of professional meetings and international conferences.
Along this wide range of activities you will get to know the activities and functioning of the Stockholm office of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. An internship certificate will be handed out at the end of the internship. The monthly internship allowance is 400 euros.

 

Requirements
The internship is aimed at people who are interested in politics and have a Christian-democratic orientation. When allocating the available internships, preference will be given to individuals with completed degrees in the fields of European studies, political science, law, economics and journalism or related fields. A sound knowledge of international relations is required for successful completion of the tasks. This also requires a very good command of German and English; a command of a Scandinavian language is an advantage. A good command of MS Office and the Internet is also a prerequisite.
Working in our small team requires loyalty, commitment and team orientation. Interns are also expected to show willingness to work beyond the fixed working hours if events take place in the evenings and at weekends.
