For a period of 5 years since January 2020, until July 2025, ISAIL ran a research internship programme, upskilling and supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing law, policy, social science and tech degrees.
We have decided to discontinue the internship programme from August 2025. Thus, we are not accepting applications for research interns at the moment.
