Feedback from previous trainees

Since the first day of my traineeship, I had the opportunity to participate in meaningful projects and be responsible for tasks that had a direct impact on the Foundation’s work. This time at the EUF allowed me to gain a first hands-on experience in the field of Higher Education and I would highly recommend it to anybody interested in this field and who wants to actively contribute to the enhancement of international student mobility in Europe. — Carla Álvarez, current EUF Policy & Research Officer

As a former PhD candidate, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and look for an opportunity to work on concrete projects relating to education and mobility. In line with the so-called university ‘third mission’ – innovative activities to engage and interact with society – this internship has allowed me to do so, while constantly learning something new and adjusting to a different workplace. Ultimately, I enhanced my employability, established a new network of professional contacts, and discovered new career possibilities. — Fabiana Minneci, current EUF Policy & Research Officer
