🇳🇱 Erasmus+ Internship in Netherlands 🔋 Research Intern 🌱 Battery Regeneration & Circular Economy, Amsterdam (Remote) 🇳🇱
A sustainability-driven cleantech startup based in Amsterdam, Netherlands is seeking an Erasmus+ Research Intern to support its research, strategy, and knowledge-building activities. Revive Battery is transforming the energy sector through advanced battery regeneration and circular economy innovation — extending battery life, reducing waste, and minimising environmental impact. This is a fully remote, part-time internship offering deep exposure to energy policy, sustainability markets, and applied research in one of Europe's most forward-thinking startup environments.
🌍 Did You Know? The Netherlands is a global leader in circular economy policy and consistently ranks among the top countries in the EU for sustainability innovation. Amsterdam was one of the first major cities in the world to officially adopt a circular economy strategy, committing to halve its use of new raw materials by 2030.
What Will You Do?
🔍 Desk Research: Conduct in-depth research on battery technologies, circular economy models, sustainability frameworks, energy systems, and climate policy.
📖 Literature & Report Synthesis: Review and synthesise academic literature, industry reports, market studies, and policy documents into clear, structured insights.
