Internships at FSFE

Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is looking for interns to join our team. The internships take between four and twelve months and we are accepting applications at all times without a specific deadline. FSFE operates in a lively environment of numerous volunteers from many countries and several full-time employees.

Before starting with the details, a few words from former FSFE interns:

FSFE is involved in the most important processes on how Information Society is being shaped, be it on a national, European, or on a global level. It's exciting to be part of these activities. (Alexander Finkenberger)

and

FSFE is a stimulating environment to work in. There are few organisations where you can learn from so many perspectives in this international and interdisciplinary context. If you read my blog you can make yourself an idea of different things I've been working on. (Hugo Roy)

Job Description

The interns will work as the only dedicated full-time office personnel in the FSFE, as well as taking on the role of assistants to FSFE's president. This involves – among many other tasks – implementation of PR activities and communication with contacts from the community, NGOs, industry, and public administration, as well as general office tasks. The intern will coordinate volunteers and FSFE team members during work on various projects. She or he will also manage the president's travel plan and occasionally accompany the president on his travels.
