BARRY FISCHER
Internship Field: Environmental Economics and Policy
Major: Economics
Host: Ecologic. Gesellschaft für internationale und europäische Umweltforschung
Location: Berlin
Duration: 3 months in summer 2006
Description: "I did research, analysis, and language translation for environmental policy consulting projects. Collected data, wrote literature reviews, translated policy documents, and even launched a pilot project comparing US and EU responses to environmental challenges."
Comments: "Learned the ins-and-outs of supranational and national envrionmental policy frameworks in the EU. It was rewarding to contribute to consulting projects that could make a real difference — like advising member states on carbon tax implementation, and analyzing the environmental impact of European transportation subsidies."
