Where can I do an internship?

An eligible organisation for an Erasmus+ traineeship can be any public or private organisation operating in a country participating in the Erasmus+ programme, for example:

• Private or public companies (small, medium and large enterprises, start-ups, family businesses, business incubators)
• Educational and research institutions (universities, faculties, research institutes, schools, training centers, non-profit organizations in the field of education)
• Public authorities and institutions (local, regional or national authorities, chambers of commerce, professional associations)
• Non-profit and non-governmental organizations (foundations, civic associations, charities, think tanks)
• Cultural, media and creative organizations (galleries, museums, media, cultural centers, advertising agencies)

Ineligible organisations:

According to Erasmus+ rules, it is not possible to carry out a traineeship in:

• EU institutions (e.g. European Commission, European Parliament, Council of the EU, etc.),
• EU agencies (e.g. Europol, EASA, ECDC...),
• organisations managing EU programmes (to avoid conflict of interest).

Tip: When choosing an internship, focus primarily on the content of the work – it must be connected to your field of study for it to count as part of the Erasmus+ program.
