POLITICO’s events department seeks a smart and proactive intern to join its fast-paced team, as it launches its first events in Brussels and in major European capitals.

POLITICO’s EU Studies Fair is the largest educational and networking event in the world focused on graduate and postgraduate programs in EU studies, international relations, business, economics, public policy and law.
Since 1999, the EU Studies Fair has been a reference for world-class academic institutions to recruit top students from across the world for graduate and postgraduate programs. The two-day fair, held annually in Brussels, is a unique opportunity for students and young professionals to discover both academic and career opportunities. The EU Studies Fair also features career seminars, personalized career counselling, guided tours of the EU institutions and university spotlights.
