BEINT 2026 Internationalisation Grants

Up to 2 years of traineeships abroad and internationalisation training, so you can return as an international trade professional

The BEINT Internationalisation Grant Programme aims to train young university degree holders in internationalisation through a mixed programme of university training and practical experience abroad in collaboration with internationalised Basque institutions and companies.

If you want to give your career a boost, take the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills that will enable you to enter new international markets. In this way, you will contribute, with your expertise, to strengthening the Basque business community.

The BEINT programme is offered in two modes:

  • A Mode, for a total duration of 2 years divided into 3 phases.
  • B Mode, for an approximate total duration of 1 year, combining Phase 1 Training and Phase 3 Traineeship Abroad

It is aimed at young people from the Basque Country under the age of 30 who hold a higher university degree. Participants will receive funding of between €30,000 and €80,000 per person, depending on the cost of living at their international destination if they choose A Mode, and between €12,000 and €32,000 under B Mode.


A giant step forward in your academic training that will give you practical experience in international markets.
