I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at European Commission (Brussels) in Feb 2010
Interview
Application through online form. There is then a pre-selection process and then you might or might not get a phone interview. Then you get a final e-mail letting you know if you've been selected about 6-8 weeks before the start of the internship. I however got a much later call. I got the E-mail saying I wasn't selected and then a few weeks later, I got a call anyway from a secretary wanting to set up an interview with her boss later that day. I assume someone else had turned down the internship.
