Internship at the Joint Secretariat in Salzburg, Austria

The Interreg Alpine Space programme is at the forefront of the transition to a unique, carbon neutral and climate resilient Eropean territory: the Alpine region. We tackle common challenges and contribute to improve the quality of life of 80 million inhabitants by co-financing and supporting cooperation projects across the borders of seven Alpine countries. Through innovative and pioneering ideas and projects, we foster the integration of sustainable economic development, societal wellbeing and the preservation of the outstanding nature of the Alpine region. The programme connects stakeholders from various sectors and different policy levels from the seven partner States. They work together, exchange ideas and develop joint solutions, with the aim of influencing policymaking and improving quality of life in the region. We are working in close coordination with the macro-regional strategy for the Alpine region (EUSALP) and the Alpine Convention. We are funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), thanks to which we will support over 60 Alpine-wide cooperation projects in the period 2021-2027 with € 107 million. The Land of Salzburg acts as managing authority (MA) and as joint secretariat (JS) of the programme. As MA it bears the overall responsibility for the sound and successful implementation of the programme. As JS it manages the day-to-day operations and communication. The Land of Salzburg is now hiring an intern for the JS in Salzburg, Austria..
