INTERNSHIPS

IN THE AEGEAN

Start your career with a unique experience!

Apply now for internships

Researchers, young graduates, students and volunteers with a background in science or communications are welcome to join the Archipelagos team on the Aegean islands! Here you will have the opportunity to take part in multidisciplinary field research and high-priority conservation projects, collecting data and supporting the work of our research teams, while enriching your knowledge and improving practical skills. 

Participants gain valuable field research experience on key fields of marine and terrestrial conservation, while at the same time contributing directly towards the protection of the unique marine ecosystems of the Aegean. All internships are geared at developing your leadership, independent research and study skills, allowing you to develop a variety of abilities, which can improve your future job prospects.

During the 2022 academic year, students who are enrolled in online university courses can follow a flexible on-site internship schedule to accommodate both their university course and the on-site internship.

To apply, please request an application form and send your motivation letter and CV to [email protected]

In response to COVID-19, all projects are currently based on the islands of Lipsi and Samos in the southeastern Aegean Sea, or on board Archipelagos’ research boats “Aegean Explorer”, “Pinelopi” and “Naftilos”, on which we extend our marine conservation work through research trips that cover various other Aegean Sea islands and waters of the Aegean Sea.

Throughout the pandemic and times during lock-down, the Archipelagos team was able to continue parts of their work, respecting all safety measures and government guidelines, and making best use of the safe outdoor areas and activities. To minimise potential spread of Covid-19, all incoming team members will initially be hosted in separate accommodation facilities upon arrival at Archipelagos’ research base. The duration of this stay will depend on guidelines and recommendations from the Greek and EU Health Organisations. While this is not compulsory, Archipelagos has decided to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of all team members.

Though this year's May has continued with many days of clouds and rain, the Archipelagos team is sure to not miss a day of action in the field, working for the protection of our seas. 🐬💙

The best kept secret of the Mediterranean🪸
Coralligenous reefs are sensitive habitats prone to irreversible destruction by anthropogenic activities, primarily bottom trawling. The lack of enforcement on existing legislation for protected habitat conservation puts the survival of these highly diverse and ecologically important ecosystems at risk. This is an unfortunate occurrence that is impacting not only the Aegean Sea, but the entire Mediterranean.

Another important research expedition in the eastern Aegean for the Archipelagos Institute ⛵
🐋 Over the past two days, the Archipelagos team have been at sea, watching and recording the migration of 2 male sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus).
🐬 In addition to these sightings, the team was able to record 5 dolphin groups, including that of Bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and Common (Delphinus delphis) dolphins. 
The eastern Aegean region is undeniably an area of international importance for marine mammals. For this reason and for over 23 years, the Archipelago Institute has conducted year round field research with an aim to advise and carry out effective conservation action.

Coralligenous reefs of the Aegean Sea🪸
In the depths of the Greek Seas, between 70 to 250 meters, lie the oldest, most productive marine ecosystems: coralligenous habitats. Corals that survive here today may exceed the age of 7000 years. Despite their importance, they are continuously threatened to be destroyed before we can even fully understand the extent of their complexity.

🔎 Archipelagos observes marine life and its threats daily 🐠
Each female barracuda, such as those shown above, can release up to 300.000 eggs in the water. Therefore, each time we catch a fish during the reproduction period, we strip the sea of hundreds of thousands of eggs and larvae. 🐟
⚠️We must emphasize once more that disrupting fish reproduction is not only destructive for marine life, but for humans who depend on the sea for nutrition.
📌In Greece, the legal framework remains deficient, resulting in each of us needing to take a personal responsibility. Both professional and recreational fishermen from all over the coastal regions of Greece must eliminate fish catch during reproductive periods. 🎣
