You are a university student and Environmental Justice research is of your interest? The EJI has an internship programme and we are always interested in receiving your application.

The Environmental Justice Institute (EJI) was founded in 2014 with the aim to support academic research around the world that focusses on environmental impacts. We are committed to support young fellow researchers in their aim of gathering information, find and make contact to senior researchers, and get funding for their projects.

The EJI is an only-online think tank and internships consequentially require a high level of independence and discipline as consultations and instructions will be discussed by Big Blue Button (BBB). We thus encourage everyone to contribute according to your preferences. Our operating language is English.

To get an idea about how an internship can be, watch this video made by a former intern with the EJI:
