The European Medicines Agency organises traineeships once a year for young university graduates. The European Medicines Agency is a decentralised agency of the European Union, located in London. The Agency is responsible for the scientific evaluation of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the European Union. The programme aims to give trainees an understanding of the Agency and its role within the activities of the European Union. It also enables them to acquire practical knowledge in one of the EMA’s Units and to obtain professional experience in the course of their work. The training period lasts at least six months and at most nine months, beginning in October.

• A good command of English and one or more other official Community languages is required.
• Successful candidates should have a background relating to the activities of the EMA, i.e. pharmacy, medicine, life sciences, healthcare, chemistry or information technologies.
• The Agency also welcomes applications from qualified lawyers with an interest in pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and recently qualified candidates with an interest in human resources, budget and accounts. Candidates with a background in communications, public relations or the web can also apply, as well as people with a background in library and information science.
• Trainees are selected from nationals of the Member States of the European Union, the European Economic Area – Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and candidate countries benefiting from a pre-accession strategy. Croatian nationals are eligible to apply as of 1 January 2013.
