"This internship reflects my long-standing commitment for seeding the next generation of leaders dedicated to building open societies," the statement quoting George Soros, Founder and Chairman of the Open Society Foundations, said.
The statement said the programme allows limited number of students from top public policy schools to immerse themselves in the ideas and practice of open society through a 10-day clinical seminar in Budapest at the School of Public Policy of the Central European University.
