The Åland Islands Peace Institute (ÅIPI) welcomes interns from different backgrounds to professionally develop in a range of different roles. ÅIPI values providing internship opportunities, as these are seen as a way for ÅIPI to promote and support the development of knowledge and competence within its areas of interest. All of our interns are given personal guidance and supervision during the internship, and the tasks may vary greatly depending on ongoing current projects.
Our former interns have come from many different backgrounds. We have had students of sociology, international relations, international law, and languages, just to mention a few. Interns' tasks have often included taking care of seminar arrangements, assisting in research, as well as supporting our work by adding and updating information on our homepage and on social media.
In order to be eligible for an internship at ÅIPI, you must have completed at least one year of your studies, and you should not have graduated with a Master’s degree yet. Internships are offered twice a year, with calls for applications usually in September/October and April/May. For specific deadlines and current opportunities, look out for announcements on the open vacancies page or subscribe to our newsletter.
In general, the internships are full-time and ten weeks long, unless otherwise agreed. The internship is officially unpaid, but it is often possible to receive a €1,500 monthly internship grant from the Åland Labour Market and Student Service Authority (AMS). See the AMS guidelines in Swedish. You should also check whether your institution offers internship grants.
