My name is Edvinas and I had a lucky opportunity to be an intern at Ms Amelias office in Brussels. Last year I graduated with International Relations BA degree from Keele University and will be assisting with work at ‘Committee on International Trade’.

I was born in Lithuania, Kaunas, and permanently  lived there till the age of 11. Next 11 years, second half of my life I spent studying in Britain. As soon as I graduated I moved to Brussels, Belgium, to gain practical work experience.

My interests primarily lie in the sectors of internet and technology, however you can find me researching a wide variety of topics, from health to energy industry. I’m very passionate about the developments in the information economy and the impact of social media upon the democratic process and public affairs.

In the future I plan to pursue further academic research into the legal aspects of the EU actorness towards international organisations with emphasis on the United Nations. At University I was a member of Model UN society, where I had the priviledge to hold a position as a treasurer and was later provided with an opportunity to participate at Oxford MUN, representing South Korea.

Would describe myself as a bit of current affairs media, publishing geek, I adore quality journalism, news, magazines. In my spare time I enjoy observing public affairs environment, especially of British and Lithuanian politics. As well as promoting release of public data to improve public policy making and services for the citizens. 20th century political ideologies never interested me and hence I was never active in party politics, however I follow developments of Pirate Party movement very closely, especially Lithuanias Pirate Party, which is just getting established. My belief is that Pirate Party movement is different, its a 21st century kind of political movement.
