A Unique Opportunity for Innovation Enthusiasts
The government of Den Haag has unveiled a unique internship opportunity for students interested in pioneering technological advancements in public administration. This initiative seeks to harness the potential of young minds to develop innovative solutions in artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and data-driven processes.

Engaging in Technological Transformation
Interns will engage in activities that include mapping out current processes, identifying opportunities for technological enhancements, and supporting the implementation of new solutions. The RVB emphasizes the importance of developing practical, data-driven strategies that can be integrated into the daily operations of government services. The goal is to foster a culture of creativity and efficiency within the public sector, bridging the gap between academic theories and real-world applications [1].
Real-World Impact and Networking
Participants in the internship will not only work on cutting-edge projects but will also have the opportunity to develop their professional networks. This aspect of the program is crucial, as it allows interns to connect with industry leaders and gain insights into the latest trends in technology and innovation. The experience is designed to be mutually beneficial, equipping students with the skills necessary for future roles while providing the government with fresh perspectives [1][2].
Eligibility and Application Details
The internship is open to students in fields such as ICT, Business Administration, and related disciplines. Candidates are expected to have a strong affinity for innovation, digitalization, and sustainability. The program, which is set to begin in February, requires applicants to submit their forms by December 1, 2025.
