Summer Internship/Course @ Duke University, Sanford School of Public Policy

I'm writing with a request: that you could alert your network of graduate students about Duke's summer internship/course for masters or Ph.D. students, located in Geneva, Switzerland. Students from various fields (e.g., public policy, environmental science, law, political science, business, medicine) are welcome.

I'm the instructor for the "Environment, Energy, and the Economy" track, and we also offer tracks in health policy or humanitarian action. To maximize students' face-time and interaction with policy practitioners, we place students in summer internships in institutions around Geneva (e.g., UNEP, WTO, UNHCR, WHO, WMO, UNCTAD, UNECE, ILO, ITC, Earthmind, IUCN, ICTSD, IISD) and we also provide an intensive 5-day course of guest speakers and site visits. Geneva is excellent for that because it is home to UN bodies, NGOs, business groups, country missions, etc. The program offers a course-only option if students do not wish to hold an internship ? the courses usually are held in the last week in June or first week in July. Outside of the course week, students gain professional experience with their internship placements and also have ample time for networking, researching, socializing, and traveling in a great spot right in the center of Europe.

The application deadline is Monday, November 25, at 5:00 pm EST.

A webinar info session with past participants will be held on Friday, October 25, at 3:00 pm EST ? to sign up for the webinar, students should email program assistant Maggie Woods at: [email protected]

Please see the program's website for more information: www.sanford.duke.edu/geneva

Any questions, please contact program assistant Maggie Woods at: [email protected]

Would you mind distributing this information to students who may be interested?

Thank you for your help,

Tana
