All information about possible payments during the time of an internship in Riga, please check on this website.

Interns must bear all costs (transport, including the flight to Riga, board and lodging) themselves. We therefore strongly recommend that if necessary applicants seek funding in good time.

Please send your application and the required documents by email to krists.sukevics(at)fes-baltic.lv

Due to the restrictions currently in force in Latvia regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, we cannot make any commitments for internships for the first half of 2021 at this point. We therefore ask you to refrain from applications for this period and will update the information for the second half of the year as soon as possible.
