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 (NB! Double funding is not allowed).

Please send your application (in English) and the required documents (don't need translation) by email to daila.krakte(at)fes.de.

The application to the internship from January 15 to April 15, 2026 is open (please apply until September 15, 2025). The specific duration of the internship is negotiable.
