Every year, the EUCN sends post-graduate students to intern at the European Parliament in Brussels and at the Asia-Europe Foundation in Singapore. These programmes form part of the EUCN's wider objective to increase New Zealanders' awareness and understanding of the European Union. The internships are designed to provide post-graduates with an opportunity to experience working in a real-life setting, as well as to assist their own research.
