# Research projects & internships

## Want to do research? 

Are you searching for a **thesis subject** or a topic for a regular paper? Are you carrying out **research** on the sharing economy, circular economy, civic engagement or other related topics? 

You've come to the right address. We gladly collaborate with scholars for surveys, inspiration or joint projects. Many people have done so already, so **don't hesitate to contact us at <olivier@tournevie.be>**.

## Want to do an internship at Tournevie?

Since late 2017, we are **teaming up with VUB university** to create opportunities for students to do internships at Tournevie. However, if you are studying elsewhere you're more than welcome as well.&#x20;

At Tournevie, you can sharpen your organisational skills, develop technical competences or you might carry out a specific project in line with your studies.&#x20;

Project management, volunteer management, communications, ... **Anything goes**. We're open to any suggestion. **Get in touch with <olivier@tournevie.be>**.

## Looking for some examples?

{% tab title="Common Good Balance Sheet" %}
Ever heard of the [**Common Good Balance Sheet**](https://www.ecogood.org/en/common-good-balance-sheet/) popularized by Christian Felber? Check out Felber's inspirational [TED-talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsO-b0_r-5Y) in which he explains it all, in particular starting at minute 7.&#x20;

We'd like someone to **analyze** Tournevie according to the balance sheet, to **compare** it with others as well as to **make** **suggestions** how we can do better in the future towards the common good.

{% endtabs %}

We will **add more examples** of research topics as time goes on, or if anyone sends us a suggestion. Feel free to inform us of your ideas.&#x20;
