It works closely with UK government departments including HM Treasury, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, the Department for International Trade, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and Department for Health amongst o0thers. Customers in the UK administration are strongly interested in all aspects of the Italian economy, ranging from the macro-economic outlook, developments in specific industrial sectors, and changes in Italian government policy.

 

The Team also supports official visits by members of the UK government, bilateral meetings between representatives of the UK and Italian governments, and organises events in relevant areas. These require the team’s involvement in preparing briefings and ensuring their smooth running.

v  Contributing to regular reports on developments in the Italian economy.

v  Ability to work independently but also as part of a highly dynamic team.

 

The intern will be granted a number of credits (crediti formativi) as indicated by the university. The internship is not a work contract and as such is not paid. However, the Embassy will pay the intern an allowance of €350 per month. This amount is not subject to tax under current local legislation. The intern will be expected to work an average of 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, within the range of 9.00 am – 5pm. Some degree of flexibility is expected, mostly in case of seminars and events. Flexibility is ensured by the Embassy to accommodate the intern’s need in case of university exams or personal reasons.
