Diaspora Youth Internship – Research Intern

We are looking for motivated young professionals with a diaspora background to join our team for a five-month remote internship starting March 2026.

The intern will primarily support the update of EUDiF’s Global Mapping on Diaspora Engagement, which showcases country profiles, policies, institutional frameworks, and thematic priorities related to diaspora engagement. Tasks may include desk research, data verification, drafting and updating country factsheets, and supporting analysis for insights. Additionally, each intern will develop an individual content project (e.g. think piece, workshop concept, research note).
