Request Management Unit

The Directorate-General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences (DG LINC) is the European Parliament’s multilingual conference service hub and a global leader in the field of conference interpretation and management. We support the democratic legitimacy of the Institution by helping Members of Parliament to get their message across in any of the official EU languages, thus enabling the legislative process and making it accessible to the citizens of Europe. This makes DG LINC a very dynamic and collaborative place to work, offering various opportunities for connecting internally and with all those taking part in the legislative process. If you like a challenge and are a team player, DG LINC could be a great place for you to do a traineeship. 

The Request Management Unit is in charge, inter alia, of the administrative management for meetings organised by the EP bodies (parliamentary committees, political groups and others) and by the authorised external organisations. The activities include managing demand for meetings and for interpretation, assisting the Secretary General, the Quaestor and the Vice-President in charge, in authorisation of all kinds of events, as well as maintaining close relations with the local authorities for events in public spaces.
