Vilnius University is a member of the strategic partner universities of the Pan-European Seal Programme.
The Pan-European Seal Programme is a vehicle for early talent detection among Europe’s brightest and highest-achieving graduates. It targets young, aspiring graduates from several academic backgrounds (IP and non-IP) who the EUIPO and the EPO will sponsor for one-year-long, paid traineeships.
Interns have the opportunity to learn from professionals in intellectual property management, access distance learning and courses in their area of expertise, put this knowledge into practice, and learn one of the official languages of the EPO or EUIPO.
Only final-year students or graduates who completed their studies in the same year in which the application is submitted are eligible to apply for the programme.
Candidates who successfully pass the selection process will receive a scholarship and begin their internship in September 2026.
Requirements for candidates and selection procedures are published here.
The selection of candidates for the EPO internship is organised directly by the European Patent Office. Applicants must fill in the candidate application form on the EPO website from February 16 to March 9 and provide the required documents.
The selection for the EUIPO internship is organized by Vilnius University. Send us the required documents by February 13th, 2026 () indicating your field of competence, "EUIPO internship," in the letter's title. We guarantee confidentiality.
