IFHP is offering two ‘housing and planning’ internships at its secretariat in The Hague, Netherlands for the spring of 2012. The length of both internships is estimated at about 3 months. There is some flexibility in the length of the internships as there are always other things to do in IFHP. The themes of the internships are:
