The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that remote working is possible. At the same time, being at the office, getting to know colleagues and learning from them is the best part of any traineeship. We offer both options and we can discuss them on an individual basis.

Overview

EPHA is a change agent – Europe’s leading NGO alliance advocating for better health. We bring together the public health community to provide thought leadership and enable change; to build public health capacity to deliver equitable solutions to European public health challenges, such as air pollution, more affordable medicines, and the need for health-enabling food systems, to improve health and reduce health inequalities. As a member-led organisation made up of public health NGOs, patient groups, health professionals and disease groups, we work with relevant policy and decision makers to strengthen the voice of public health in Europe. Twice a year, EPHA welcomes motivated master’s students and recent graduates passionate about gaining hands-on experience in advocating for better health within the NGO environment in Brussels.
