  1. Hello Everyone,
    This is an interesting concept. Internships are intended to promote a better understanding of international problems among participants and to provide them with an insight into the work. Interns are not paid. The acquisition of the necessary visas, travel costs and arrangements and living accommodation are the responsibility of the interns or their sponsoring institutions. Thanks....
