Many students and graduates aspire to an internship or career in the field of the European Union. However, it is not always easy to find one’s way around and find the right path to one’s goal.
To learn more about working in these areas and the opportunities available for students, graduates, and young professionals, the fourth series of monthly online meetings dedicated to various professional profiles will continue in April. Guests will share insight into their daily work, the educational and professional journey that led them to Brussels, and offer first-hand advice.

Our next guest is Michael Stemmer: Economist, Economics Department, European Investment Bank (EIB)

Michael is responsible for the department’s work on labour market development, skills, social investment and cohesion, and is the EIB’s country economist for the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). He is also a lead author of the EIB Investment Report, the Bank’s annual flagship report, which provides a comprehensive overview of the developments and driver of investment and investment finance in the European Union.

Before joining the EIB, Michael spent over five years at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, working on international macroeconomic and global tax policies, also as a programme manager for South Africa.

Prior to the OECD, he undertook research at the Dutch Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Michael holds a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the Free University of Bolzano, master’s degrees in economics from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and Fudan University in Shanghai, and a PhD in economics from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University.
