Partners for Euro-African Green Energy
Brussels, Belgium
Description of internship:
Having established a position of leadership within the bioenergy advocacy sphere and mobilised a network of contacts including producers, consumers, academics and policy makers in both Africa and Europe, PANGEA is seeking a high-performing and results-oriented intern to follow the development of policies and legislation relating to biofuels, trade, environment, development and renewable energy within the European Parliament and Commission.
This is an unpaid position; interns receive a European Parliament entry pass and a monthly metro pass. Internship’s duration is three months; spring internship will be from April to June and summer internship from June to August.

During the month of August, when the European Institutions are not working, the intern will be actively involved in the drafting of proposals and in the events organization activities.
