Research Internships

The 'Institutions for Collective Action' Research Team offers Master students research internship opportunities within several projects that are currently running. In all cases students will be working closely with the project coordinator Tine De Moor and other team members who actively work on the topics mentioned. In all projects the activities will be divided between hands-on practice of a specific methodology - whereby students work with historical datasets of various kinds -, literature study directly related to the topic, and the writing of short texts.

Internship Project

In this project, students from the Master's programme Politics and Society in Historical Perspective are the pivot in an alliance of (academic) researchers, organisations that deal with citizens' collectivities (such as knowledge centres and corporations), and the collectivities themselves, by researching specific topics related to the institutional design and functioning of citizens' collectivities.
