Summer Internship Programme in collaboration with the Centre for Hellenic Studies in Greece –Harvard University Paid Internship Programme
The Programme, which has been designed in collaboration with the Centre for Hellenic Studies and is fully supported by the B. & E. Goulandris Foundation, is aimed at Harvard University postgraduate and doctorate students and has as a purpose to encourage artistic education through an interdisciplinary approach and to broaden practical knowledge in museum programming and research. Interns gain valuable experience coordinating the digital transition of an art museum and a comprehensive overview of the Museum’s digital ecosystem, while conducting research and completing an educational project over a period of five weeks. The Paid Internship Programme was inaugurated at the same time as the opening of the Museum in Athens, in October 2019, and is funded exclusively by the B. & E. Goulandris Foundation. Participants in the Internship Programme have the opportunity to apply their knowledge, develop communication, cooperation, adaptability and organisational skills, to be exposed to the structures and mechanisms of operation of a cultural institution of international repute and to acquire a substantial and multifaceted experience useful for their subsequent professional career and personal development. The Programme relates to the Customer Service and Educational fields.
