As an intern, you will actively participate in one or more projects, including contributing content to the OPCW website; enhancing the catalogue of publications; developing an e-newsletter; and creating multimedia content. For more details about projects, please contact MPB.

You will be able to develop practical skills, expand your professional portfolio, make professional contacts, and work in a unique international organisation devoted to disarmament.

You must be:

  • Enrolled in a university, or equivalent tertiary institution, both when you are applying to the programme and during the internship, or have graduated in the previous twelve months to when you apply;
  • A citizen of a Member State of the Organisation; and
  • Fluent in both written and spoken English. A good working knowledge of one of the other official languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish) is highly desirable.

Duration/working hours

You may set the duration of the internship based on your availability, from a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 1 year. The actual hours to be worked will be agreed between you and your supervisor, and shall not exceed 40 hours per week.
