Science Policy Internship information

What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during a science policy internship?

As a Science Policy Intern, you can typically expect to assist with policy research, drafting briefing documents, and helping to analyze scientific data relevant to policy decisions. You may also attend meetings with stakeholders, support the organization of events or workshops, and contribute to the preparation of reports or presentations. Interns often work closely with policy analysts, scientists, and communications teams, providing exposure to the collaborative nature of the field. This hands-on experience is valuable for understanding how scientific evidence informs policy-making in real-world settings.
