The DESERTEC Foundation is a global civil society initiative aiming to shape a sustainable future. It is a non-profit foundation that grew out of a network of scientists, politicians and economists from around the Mediterranean, who together developed the DESERTEC Concept.
 
We are working on the fast global implementation of the DESERTEC Concept, a comprehensive solution that combats global warming, ensures a reliable energy supply, and promotes development and security. With around 20 staff members, Regional Network Coordinators, and a large global community of supporters, we are active around the world:

• We inform the civil society sector and politicians about the benefits of DESERTEC
• Promote the establishment of the framework conditions necessary for a global transition to renewables
• Support knowledge transfer and scientific co-operation
• Foster exchange and co-operation with the private sector

To complete our team in Hamburg, we are looking for interns with:

• Enthusiasm to work in the renewable energy sector
• Fluent English (German is a plus)
• The ability to understand academic texts and to communicate them
• Experience with social media usage
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Office
