Key insights and how to apply

We offer paid traineeships, as part of the European Commission’s scheme for trainees - the Blue Book traineeships. There are two five-month internship sessions per year, starting on 1 March and 1 October respectively. 

For the March 2026 session we have several internship vacancies in various domains, including internal or external communication as well as project management (in the topics managed by REA).

Consult our corporate brochure and organisation chart to learn more about us.

For information on Blue Book traineeships and on how to apply, please visit the European Commission's Traineeship website.
