Internship Program

E3 Network's internship program pays for graduate students in economics to work with non-governmental organizations on environmental issues during the summer months. NGOs benefit from the expertise of the interns' training in economics and gain a better appreciation for the role economics can play in environmental protection. Graduate students gain insights into the real issues confronting the environmental community and explore possible avenues for their research and professional development. Recent internships included placement with the National Research Defense Council, International Rivers Network, Clean Air-Cool Planet, and the Global Development and Environment Institute.
