BCSP team has been expanded by the energy and the knowledge of eight new interns.

 

 

In the BCSP Library on the 6th September was organized welcoming and introduction with the new, fourteenth generation of interns. During the introductory seminar, a new generation of interns met members of the BCSP team and learned more about the projects on which they will be involved in the future.

“Interns have various educational backgrounds, which allows different approaches to work on projects. The internship program will enable them to get an insight into the work of a think-tank organization, gain experience and learn about the methodology of the research projects”, explains Aurelija Djan, BCSP Researcher-Associate.

Belgrade Centre for Security Policy for the seventh year in a row is implementing an internship program. This year, 64 candidates applied, and eight of them was received . 

Eight interns had the opportunity to learn more about the BCSP history, mission, vision and achievements until now from Milorad Timotic, Vice-President of the Executive Board BCSP and Predrag Petrovic, Executive Director of BCSP. After that, Sonja Stojanovic Gajic, BCSP Director talked them about think-tank organizations, and Marko Savkovic, BCSP researcher, explained them more about the reform of security sector.

After the lecture, current BCSP projects were presented to the interns.
