My three-month role as a research intern at RDI was a very positive, interesting and productive experience. I spent my internship researching and writing a working paper on the potential for analysing why smallholders choose particular land management techniques.
Interning at RDI was my first working experience as future humanitarian practitioner. It gave me the precious opportunity to be introduce to the research and knowledge building world which is behind any effective and efficient relief operation.

It has been a real pleasure to do my internship at RDI. The environment was the embodiment of a positive, inclusive, supportive and empowering work-place and everyone was inspirational in their own way. I could not have wished for a better experience and it has certainly opened my horizons to conducting fur-ther research or even taking research up as a career.
The professional placement at RDI was the highlight of my time in Bandung and it was an immensely rewarding way to complete the IR semester at UNPAR. Further to international relations, it brought together much prior learning and areas of future interest in the fields of sustainability science, the non government sec-tor and Indonesian studies. This contributed to valuable and unique interdisciplinary work experience with outcomes including writing a research paper.

If you want to experi-ence how it is like to work in the research field firsthand, RDI offers the best opportunity for it.

As I joined RDI as an intern, I figured that RDI is more than an ideal place to strengthen my writing and analyti-cal skills. I believe it is a privilege to have the leniency to explore topic and areas of my interest while being supported by supervisors that have greater knowledge in the field.
RDI provide a positive working environment in which an intern can feel comfortable, whilst also make a solid contribution to the body of work produced by RDI.
