Project Management Fall Intern

 

 

Project Management interns will work with supervisors from all six of our program areas. The Democracy and Society program brings together US and German policymakers and civil society organizations to explore issues that challenge our democracies and the transatlantic relationship. The program’s current activities focus on memory culture, challenges to democracy, and immigration. The Foreign and Security Policy program explores contemporary issues in the foreign and security policy realm with a specific focus on transatlantic cooperation in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The Climate and Energy program focuses on facilitating an energy transition away from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas, to a system largely based on renewable energies, such as wind and solar. The Climate Policy and Finance program analyses and monitors the emerging global climate finance architecture, particularly public climate funds, and helps coordinate civil society participation and input with a focus on ensuring that climate financing is fully gender-responsive. The Technology and Digital Policy program promotes transatlantic and global dialogue on the effects of the rapid technological transformation on our societies, economies and democracies, and it strives to advance the debate over norms and standards for digital infrastructure and communication. The Global Development Policy program analyses and monitors global economic development, the sustainable infrastructure debate, and the shifting international finance institution landscape.
