Learning by doing
As an intern at the Asser Institute, you combine learning with doing. The internship provides you with the opportunity to gain practical experience within the framework of the activities of the Institute. Your internship can be part of an educational programme of a university, or a school.

Who can apply for an internship?
Internships at Asser are for students only. This means that you must be registered as a student at a university or a school, and must be eligible to live and work in the Netherlands (either through EU citizenship or a student visa from a Dutch university). Recent graduates (bachelor and master) may apply, but only within the first year of graduation, when ‘learning through interning’ may still add to your education.

The internship is an opportunity to learn in an active and dynamic research environment. Therefore, we expect interns to be present at the Institute in The Hague. It is not a remote working opportunity.

Regretfully, the Asser Institute cannot hire students without EU citizenship for internships, unless they already have a Dutch residency and work permit. In order to accelerate the selection process, please include relevant visa status or residence permit information in your application.

Education 
Both the educational goals and the tasks that you will perform at the Asser Institute are laid down in an Internship plan, which is part of the internship agreement. This plan has to be approved by you, your main supervisor at the Institute, and, if applicable, the intern coordinator from your university or school.

Supervisor
Because of our educational objectives, we believe that frequent and intensive supervision is key to a successful internship. At the Institute, you will therefore have a regular supervisor. As you will collaborate with a number of Asser staff members or teams, your supervisor will consult with her/his colleagues about your progress. Your Internship Plan contains information on the mandatory number of consultations between you and the host supervisor(s), and it will contain a performance review.

Asser research community
Your participation in research community meetings such as research labs, research luncheons and research seminars is a mandatory part of your internship.

Duration
The length of an internship at the Asser Institute is 3-6 months.

Expense allowance
The intern expense allowance is € 550 per month.
