Internship Desk researcher

The Erasmus+ programme comprises four priorities: digital, inclusion, participation and the environment (known as the ‘green priority’). Each priority has a resource centre, SALTO, to support national agencies in implementing these priorities and thereby help improve the quality of the programme. For the green priority, the reference centre is SALTO Green, hosted by the Erasmus+ Training and Education France agency (Bordeaux). The green priority centres on three key areas: reducing the carbon footprint of mobility, developing education for sustainable development, and supporting the development of skills related to careers in the energy transition. SALTO Green aims to expand its research activities by enhancing its capacity to generate knowledge from reports and surveys. The aim is therefore to produce new content that will be incorporated into presentation and training materials, and to consolidate its position as the programme’s focal point for environmental transition. Start of the internship: January 2027 Duration: 6 months Application deadline: 8 November 2026 Open to Non Native French speaking Role: Monitoring and organisation of resources SALTO Green already has European and international resources at its disposal. The first step will be to carry out a review of existing internal reports and identify any gaps in relation to the three strands of the Green Priority. A monitoring exercise will then be carried out based on the identified needs. Both new and existing resources will need to be organised to facilitate access. Production of knowledge syntheses at European level Based on the selected publications, a written synthesis must be produced, in the form of a report, for each of the following themes:
- Vocational training
- Sport
- The labour market for the environmental transition (with a particular focus on green skills) – for this topic, an online survey must be carried out, specifically targeting employers or employers’ federations. The key findings of these reports will then be presented to the European network of Green Contact Points during a webinar. Expected deliverables:
- At least 3 knowledge syntheses (reports)
- Presentation materials summarising the reports produced
- Oral presentation of the results at the end of the placement (webinar) All deliverables must be written in English. Profil
