HBS Global Research Centers

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 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.

Internships will be fully funded by the Office of Career Services at the country level and may be in-person or virtual, depending on location and travel restrictions. Please see details below and note that application deadlines may vary by location.

We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we plan during these unprecedented times. We will be in touch with more information as it is available. If you wish to receive program updates, please fill out this survey to be added to our email list.
