Interning at the EOC EU Office is a once in a lifetime opportunity. As an intern, you will be made to feel like a member of a team and the organization from the very beginning. What about the day-to-day (and hour-to-hour)? You will work in projects aimed at developing innovative resources and structural solutions that put EU Sport sector development on a stronger footing, all the while being ably supported by staff that is highly specialized across various EU policy areas relating to sport. Your responsibilities will also include ongoing monitoring, social media management and if you are lucky, event management. And here is the kicker, legislative developments in the EU Sport landscape are constantly evolving – therefore so does your work, which means you always get to work on actual sport sector issues and problems rather than artificially created ones. All in all, you are sure to acquire new skills and grow, while surrounded by amazing people that share your interests and values. So, if you are an EU Sport enthusiast, I implore you to take the plunge as an internship will allow your creativity, passion, eagerness to learn and unique skills to shine through, which is the biggest complement I can give the EOC EU Office!

If you’re a recent graduate or already a seasoned player trying to find your footing in the field of sport, the internship at the EOC EU Office is the perfect opportunity to get familiar with the intricacies of EU policy and organised sports in Europe. As a trainee, you will have a daily hands-on experience in keeping the office informed on the latest developments of EU policy and legislation, tailored to your own expertise and interests (European Sports Model, online piracy, health and environment, e-sports and videogames, health, inclusion and diversity, gender equality etc.). You will also have the chance of diving in the world of EU funding, assisting the office with their own coordinated projects and projects from our highly reputed partners. You will always be accompanied by a team of talented and experienced professionals with diverse backgrounds, who happen to also be very nice and approachable. I could not have been happier with the experiences and outcomes. Give it a go!
