This summer program is intended for highly-qualified and dedicated graduate students. Employed by SHoF, you will work on the Nordic Compass research tool. The competitive interns have opportunity to stay for a full-time research position at SHoF after the completion of the internship program.

2021 Summer Internship Program lasts from early July to late August, with a duration of seven weeks. Due to the corona situation, interns will work from home again this year. The team will work on the assigned tasks and communicate daily via Zoom and Slack. We respect and care about each team member and will try our best to accommodate the individual needs.

Projects and tasks

Interns will research and evaluate a pre-selected set of publicly-traded Nordic companies and contribute to the ESG databade updating and upgrading. Accomplishing data collection and consolidation for more than 500 companies covering a wide variety of industries, the team can expect to practice a complex set of finance and accounting skills, gain structured knowledge on current ESG evaluation and will be able to think independently about ESG investment.

Data collection will be performed based on the established rules and guidelines, set forth in the collection manual and data definitions provided by Resility. Intern work will be guided by an experienced Resility summer intern alumnus and supported by the leadership of Resility.
