Dear Interested Parties,
There is again a vacancy for an internship in my team in Brussels!

Then apply and support my team and me in my political work. In my daily parliamentary life in Brussels, I follow the Committees for Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Development as well as the Committee for Foreign Policy together with my colleagues. I am also a member of the delegations for Afghanistan, the Mashreq countries and the Mediterranean Union. In addition, we work on everything that is important at Europe's external borders and beyond in the areas of flight and migration - and this is by no means only done from within Parliament.

- Tracking and classifying current political developments at international and EU level
- Support the entire team with project-related technical research and drafting of texts and briefings

- Support in the preparation and follow-up of events and visitor groups
