About the Policy Recommendations Paper The VI4IS (Virtual Internships for Inclusive Societies) Project is dedicated to enhancing the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of virtual internships across Europe. As part of this initiative, we aim to develop policy recommendations to support the implementation and improvement of virtual internships on both national and EU levels. This document provides insights and recommendations from all participating countries (Serbia, North Macedonia, Spain and Italy) based on data gathered through various activities and sources, including: • Evidence collected from virtual internships conducted during the project. • Data from the Best Practices Report. • National dialogues hosted in each country. • Study visits to various institutions and organizations. By contributing to this comprehensive policy framework, we seek to address the challenges and opportunities associated with virtual internships. Our goal is to foster new forms of cooperation, leverage best practices, and ultimately create a more inclusive and effective system for virtual internships that benefits students, educational institutions, and employers alike.
