Youth Works Hub has 8 internships in Belgium and Germany open for applications in 2026, all with the deadline as soon as possible. Five are in Brussels, Belgium and three in Berlin, Germany, covering EU policy and communications, competition economics, vehicle emissions modelling, EU project coordination and legal and governance work in finance, for university students and, in one case, recent graduates.
Seven of the eight listings require current student status, and pay differs from one posting to the next. If you want to know how an internship differs from a fellowship or traineeship, or need practical application tips before sending a CV, both guides are a good start.
Each call has its own angle:
🇧🇪 Belgium: EU DisinfoLab's policy internship monitors EU initiatives on disinformation, democracy and digital regulation.
🇩🇪 Germany: the ICCT pays €16-18 per hour for Python model development on vehicle emissions, economics and charging infrastructure.
🇧🇪 Belgium: EU DisinfoLab's communication internship drafts the Disinfo Update newsletter and supports webinars and social media.

🇧🇪 Belgium: BRG's April 2027 start internship joins the Brussels and Paris offices on competition cases.
🇧🇪 Belgium: Euroclear is looking for several students to intern in its Legal, Governance & Regulatory Division.
Internship pay in this batch depends on the employer. According to the ICCT, the Berlin student assistant role pays €16-18 per hour, depending on experience and level of education, and BRG states that its Berlin Antitrust & Competition practice offers internationally competitive compensation and benefits. According to the postings, both EU DisinfoLab internships are not compensated as per Belgian law, and the ForEveryone internship is unpaid in line with mandatory internship regulations.
