Our Commitment to Self-Development
Every internship at ICEES is structured as a comprehensive learning journey. We understand that true professional growth comes from hands-on work, mentorship, and the freedom to explore one's potential in a supportive academic environment. Our interns don't just complete tasks; they develop critical thinking skills, gain expertise in specialized fields, and build confidence through encouraged initiative-taking and meaningful contributions to our research and other activities.
Whether you're interested in non-profit management, academic research, media production, or educational development, our programmes are designed to nurture your unique skills while expanding your professional horizons. We provide structured mentorship, regular feedback, and opportunities for independent projects that foster both personal growth and professional competency.
Our Core values
We firmly believe that the most innovative research and impactful work emerge from teams that represent diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences in environments that allow for free speech and individual responsibility. Our different internship programmes are open to students and individuals from all geographic locations, socioeconomic backgrounds, and previous experience levels. We are committed to breaking down barriers to academic and professional opportunities, supporting underrepresented voices in Central and Eastern European studies, providing equal access to mentorship and professional development resources, and creating a free and responsible environment where all interns can thrive and contribute authentically.
Giving Chances to Emerging Talents
