UNECE Internship Programme
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) accepts interns from time to time on an ad hoc basis.
The internships are open to graduate or post-graduate students, who have specialized in a field related to UNECE programmes of work, namely: environment, transport, statistics, sustainable energy, trade, timber and forests, housing and land management, population, and economic cooperation and integration.
Occasionally, the Commission has a need for interns with specific skills and will post those internship opportunities.
Internships are offered free-of-charge and without financial remuneration.
The United Nations accepts no legal or administrative liability for interns who are not accorded the status of a United Nations staff member.
All costs connected with an internship, including travel, accommodation1 and insurance, are borne by the intern or his/her sponsor.
An internship carries no expectancy of subsequent employment with the United Nations.
Interns are required to submit a certificate of good health and, wherever applicable, to obtain themselves the appropriate visa.
