Request Management 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 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 clients. The activities include managing requests 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.
