Aiming to build a network of young researchers who have an interest in the Balkan (SEE) region, Analytica launched its internship program, providing an opportunity to visit, reside and conduct research in Macedonia and the wider region. The research interns spend from three till six months, doing research and actively participating in the work of Analytica, while also gaining hands-on experience of the region and skills in think-tank work.
