General conditions

Conditions of an internship are regulated in an internship agreement signed between the EFRJ and the intern, including the following details:

• Working place - Interns may work in person in the EFRJ office in Leuven (teleworking is still possible up to 65% of the working hours), or they can complete a remote internship, depending on the circumstances, type of work, EFRJ requests and individual needs. During the selection procedure we give priority to candidates who plan to complete in the internship in person or at least partially in person. For applicants willing to move to Belgium, please note that the EFRJ cannot assist to obtain permits or help with relocation costs.
• Funding - Internships at the EFRJ are non-remunerated, but work related expenses (e.g. travel to EFRJ events) will be reimbursed upon previous agreement. The EFRJ may also assist the intern to get external financial support for the internship period (e.g. providing documents for an application).
• Time commitment - Internships are minimum 6 months long (extendable to 1 year) and require a 20 hours/week work time (negotiable on a case-to-case basis: lower or higher work time can be agreed on). 

Working language - The working language of the EFRJ is English. Occasionally (for example for training events delivered in a language other than English) other languages may be used.
