Every year the Ruusbroec Institute Library offers traineeships to students as part of their academic curriculum (e.g. library sciences, book history, literature, history, art history, etcetera). We offer professional traineeships as well as research traineeships, or a combination of both.

Are you interested in a traineeship at the Ruusbroec Institute Library, please contact Erna Van Looveren.

Some results of the traineeships can be seen on the page 'Collecties in beeld' on our Dutch website.
