Study visits at FRA

FRA offers the possibility of study visits throughout the year.

Study visits are intended to provide academics and professionals (i.e. the study visitors) the possibility to put their knowledge into practice, to conduct more detailed study of specific subjects in the field of fundamental rights and to gain knowledge of the work of the FRA.

In general, study visits may last between two weeks and three months. Exceptionally, a prolongation to a maximum total of six months may be offered.

Applicants must have completed a Bachelor-level university degree. In duly justified cases, applications may be accepted from non-graduates who have completed relevant vocational training or who have relevant professional experience. Study visits are not paid.

Persons wishing to undertake a study visit should apply by e-mail to recruitment@fra.europa.eu. They should send their CV together with a motivation letter specifying the area of FRA's work they are interested in.

We strongly recommend that applicants read the Rules governing study visits at FRA carefully before submitting their applications.

Admission to the study visits programme does not entail any right or priority with regard to recruitment for a staff position or a traineeship at FRA.

The processing of personal data by FRA is governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. By submitting a request for a study visit, the interested person is understood, in the sense of Article 5 (d) of the Regulation, to have given their consent to the processing of the personal data contained in the CV and the supporting documents enclosed therewith. The personal data in question is collected by FRA for the sole purpose of the study visit.
