Intern for Sustainable Governance and Just Transition
il y a 3 jours
Eurocities, the network of major European cities, is opening an internship opportunity in the field of Sustainable Governance and Just Transition.
Eurocities is a dynamic and international team where we help people thrive in a friendly, open, and healthy environment. Joining our team means being part of an organisation that connects cities across Europe.
As an intern, you will have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects, contribute to impactful initiatives, and engage with a network of experts from various fields.
We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and innovation, making it an ideal place for young professionals to gain hands-on experience in an international context.
**About the project**:
The sustainable urban governance team has the important function of working across the organisation while lifting the strategic aspects of the broader governance agenda for Eurocities. Thematically, the team is mainly working on the role of cities in EU policymaking, the EU’s urban agenda and urban/multi-level governance, Cohesion Policy, citizens’ engagement, and a fair transition to climate neutrality.
As two key priorities for 2025, the team will work on the annual Eurocities Pulse Mayors Survey, which offers an overview of key urban trends, alongside top challenges and priorities facing European mayors. Past editions of the Pulse can be viewed here: Eurocities Pulse: Mayors Survey | 2024 Monitor Eurocities.
Another priority will be advancing our work on just transition, with a key focus on identifying trends and good practices that promote social fairness in the transition to a climate-neutral EU, while increasing co-benefits between social and climate policies.
**Responsibilities**:
You will work as part of the Governance team at the Eurocities Brussels office. In this role, you will:
- Perform desk research on just transition policies and practices implemented at the local level.
- Collect and synthesise good practices from cities.
- Support the evaluation of survey results for the Eurocities Pulse mayors Survey 2025 (data analysis, identifying trends, preparation of simple visual summaries).
- Draft key summaries and policy recommendations.
- Support (online) workshops and meetings on urban governance and just transition topics (organisational aspects, note taking, summaries).
As part of our team, you will:
- Gain concrete insights into the priorities of mayors, urban trends and just transition topics, enhancing your knowledge and practical skills.
- Gain insights on Eurocities research, policy and advocacy work in the above areas.
- Work with colleagues from across Europe, fostering professional development and networking opportunities.
- Join a supportive and engaging workplace in the heart of Brussels.
- Receive reimbursement of public transportation costs in Belgium.
**Profile**:
You are a student full of initiative, self-driven, curious, creative, flexible, and results oriented. You are eager to take ownership of tasks and contribute meaningfully to your team’s goals.
The skills and experience to do this job successfully include:
- You must be enrolled as a Bachelor or Master student from a University, Business School or equivalent during the entire internship. In the related fields of: Political science, International Relations, Political economy, Economics, Urban Studies.
- Proficiency in English (additional languages are an asset).
- Strong organisational, analytical, writing and communication skills.
- Familiarity with data evaluation tools (proficiency in Excel is sufficient).
- A proactive team player with strong interest in policy work in the EU context.
**Assets**:
- Previous experience in social and climate/environmental policies.
- Experience in drafting briefing notes, policy summaries and recommendations.
- Familiarity with EU institutions, policies and processes.
**What you can expect from Eurocities**:
- The chance to contribute to impactful projects with support and guidance from managers.
- An opportunity to enhance both hard and soft skills through practical experience and mentorship.
- Learning goals tailored to help you meet educational requirements effectively.
- A valuable educational experience that integrates with a real-world professional environment.
- Exposure to an international work environment of a European network organisation.
**How to apply**:
