The World Trade Organization (WTO) is now accepting applications from suitably qualified students for WTO PhD Internship Program. It is a partially funded scholarship for all students.
About the Internship Program
The World Trade Organisation Support Program for Doctoral Studies (also known as the PhD Internship Program) aims to support the development of academic expertise on WTO issues in developing countries.
The WTO Secretariat invites doctoral students from developing countries to conduct research at the WTO and provides them with mentoring/advice in close collaboration with the students’ academic supervisors.
Participants in the PhD Internship Program are expected to advance their doctoral thesis during their time at the WTO, taking advantage of access to WTO facilities and information and opportunities for interaction with the general trade policy community.
They are not expected to undertake assignments on behalf of the WTO Secretariat. A mentor is allocated to the doctoral student for the duration of his/her internship.
The role of the mentor is to provide the student with advice, as required, in close collaboration with the student’s academic supervisors. Before the end of the PhD Internship Program, the participant is required to give a seminar on his/her work.
