Internship opportunities through the University Network for Cultural Routes Studies

The University Network for Cultural Routes Studies is also a platform of exchanges and mobility for students and researchers, ensuring a permanent interaction between the European Institute of Cultural Routes (EICR), Universities and certified Cultural Routes.

In the framework of the University Network for Cultural Routes Studies, the Institute created an internship programme for students of the member Universities, in close cooperation with Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe managers and Universities.

Students have the possibility to spend part of their intership at the EICR (Luxembourg) and at various locations which are part of the Council of Europe’s cultural routes, according to their fields of research and opportunities at the time of internship.
