After graduating, Katrīna Luīze Ašmane, an RGSL alumna, chose not to rush into a Master’s degree, but instead took on an Erasmus+ traineeship — a decision that became a defining step in her career
✨ “An alumni traineeship was the perfect way to gain valuable experience while taking time to reflect on my next steps.”
At EU DisinfoLab, Katrīna worked on EU digital platform policy and disinformation, gaining first-hand insight into how policymaking works at the European level.
Her experience went far beyond a typical internship:
- co-authoring published blog posts
- speaking at an academic event in Brussels
- delivering presentations to international audiences
- attending meetings at EU institutions
