The Boustany Foundation Internship
Over the summer, scholars are expected to complete a two-month unpaid internship in at our office in Monaco. Travel, food, and accommodation expenses related to the internship will be covered by the Foundation. The dates of the two-month period may be determined on a case-by-case basis between the scholar and the Foundation.
During the internship, scholars will work on either increasing awareness about the Foundation, designing or proposing new Scholarships, or working on other initiatives that further the vision of the Boustany Foundation. The exact project scope will be determined on the first day of the internship and can be driven by scholar interests as well.
The philosophical community is enhanced by the contribution of philosophers from other departments and Faculties who provide additional teaching and research links.
Postgraduate programmes have trained philosophers now working all over the world.
