In plain language

  • The Flemish Government is enshrining the rules and conditions for internship grants at multilateral organisations into a new decree. It also formally sets out language requirements and data privacy standards.
  • This applies to individuals up to 34 years old holding a Flemish qualification who want to do an internship at an approved international organisation.
  • If you meet the criteria, you can receive funding to help cover your travel, accommodation, and living expenses during your internship.
