Description
Every year Europol offers a number of internship projects to provide individuals with the opportunity to learn more about the activities of the agency, and put their learning and skills into practice by contributing to Europol’s mission. The internship projects aim to enhance the interns’ educational and practical experience through structured work assignments with established objectives, to acquire or develop a particular expertise and an understanding of how Europol works. Please note that interns are not to be considered as Europol staff members.
This internship project focuses on on-going legislation in the areas of digital forensics, data retention, organisation and open-sources intelligence at national and European level from a data protection perspective. It aims at assisting Europol’s Data Protection Office in maintaining and further enhancing a comprehensive privacy and security framework facilitating the exchange of information and its analysis within Europol. The results of this project should lead to an updated information basis enabling the Data Protection Office to provide state-of-the-art service to Europol operational units and thereby safeguarding the rights of the data subjects concerned while enabling effective law enforcement. The project will be led and supervised by a Senior Specialist within the DPO team. The successful applicant will join the Internship Project for a period of 3 months (40 hours a week), which may be extended for another period of up to 3 months.
