AEDR aims to bring the best talents of the world together and conduct high-quality research in areas of trade, environment and development. The internship programme at AEDR trains young researchers in their chosen areas by involving them in live projects and ensuring rigorous hands-on training. With its unique expert group, AEDR also conducts training and capacity-building programmes for both public and private sectors. The programmes include discussions about key areas (focusing on the fundaments) of research, demonstration of analytical tools to conduct rigorous quantitative and qualitative research, and hands-on training sessions (along with assessments).

Why Intern with us?

Economics studies prepare you for in-demand jobs in every industry, including government, finance, business, and health care. Internships help you figure out your professional aspirations and gain a competitive advantage. The goal of any professional research is to identify knowledge gaps regarding certain economic and social issues or the effects of policies, both locally and globally. Being an intern with AEDR, you will be able to apply knowledge and theory learned in class to the workplace, specifically in domains of international trade, environment, and development. You will gain valuable workplace experience, the opportunity for skill development, and a competitive advantage in the job search.
