CREDO has officially launched the call for applications for its eighth (8th) cycle of internships, inviting motivated Master’s students from around the world to gain first-hand experience in international cultural relations and diplomacy.
Whether your background is in public and cultural diplomacy or in another discipline, this is an opportunity to work alongside leading researchers, practitioners, and policymakers while actively shaping CREDO’s projects and strategies.
Why This Internship Stands Out?
At CREDO, interns are integrated into the core team, not sidelined into administrative tasks. You will immediately take part in decision-making, contribute to strategy development, and be part of daily operations. The programme also encourages you to pursue your own research interests or develop new initiatives within the organisation’s mission.

Research & Partnership Development

Who Should Apply for Credo Internship Program 8th Cycle?
The Credo Internship Program 8th Cycle is designed for dynamic, motivated Master’s degree students who are passionate about communication and international engagement. Applicants should possess strong skills across social media platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram, along with a good understanding of mailing list management tools.
Proficiency in written and spoken English is essential for this role, while knowledge of Italian is considered an added advantage. Ideal candidates will demonstrate excellent organizational abilities, teamwork, and a proactive willingness to learn and contribute to CREDO’s website platform. Since the internship is primarily based in Siena, Italy, applicants should be able to work predominantly from this location.
What CREDO Offers to Interns?
- 3 ECTS credits (part of your curricular programme).
- Flexible working environment.
- Access to an international network of experts, scholars, and practitioners.
- Practical, hands-on experience in cultural diplomacy and project management.
