Strasbourg Conferences Unit

The Directorate-General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences (DG LINC) is the multilingual conference service hub of the European Parliament. Our mission is to enable the European Parliament to achieve its political objectives by providing linguistic, technical and logistical support to meetings and conferences. Our services support the democratic legitimacy of the Institution by helping the Members of Parliament get their message across in any of the official languages. We thus enable the legislative process and make it accessible to the citizens of Europe. This makes DG LINC a very dynamic, collaborative, and unique place of work, with opportunities for connecting with different actors across the Parliament. If you like challenges and are customer-minded then DG LINC could be a great place for you to do a traineeship. 

The Strasbourg Conference Unit’s (SCU) mandate is to promote democratic debate outside plenary sessions and to further develop its capacity to co-organise conferences as well as cultural and high-level events at the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
