Interns in offices of Members of the European Parliaments (MEPs) are involved in research, handling correspondence, and attending committee meetings. English and French language internships are available. Other foreign language placements may also be available. Placement with a non-English-speaking MEP will depend on availability as well as the strength of the student's skill in the language of the internship.
