The HBS Global Initiative is anchored by a team based in Boston with over 65 staff sitting in key regions around the world to contribute to the school’s global strategy and research. We play a critical role in the School’s efforts to build a deep understanding of and expertise in global business practice and innovation. Each summer we host Harvard College interns in our research centers abroad, to assist with the research and non-research activities of these teams. This provides students a wonderful opportunity to learn about both the work of Harvard Business School and business issues in a particular region. Please see the details below for summer 2020.
Unfortunately, all plans for summer 2021 have been put on hold, and at this time, we will not be hosting interns at any of our centers. If you would like to receive program information in the event that there are any updates, please fill out
