The  following  UN  Internship Program  announcement  arrived  on
Thomas  Burola's "Expat Global Job Service" list, and may  be  of
interest  to  some members of the EE-JOBS  list.  Please  contact
Thomas (tburola at alf.tel.hr) if you have questions about his list.
Although  unpaid,  the internship positions would seem  to  offer
interesting/useful experience to graduate students.
