Communications and Outreach Unit

The Directorate-General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences (DG LINC) provides the linguistic, technical and logistical support for parliamentary meetings and conferences. By supplying state-of-the-art conference facilities, including high-quality interpretation services and conference organisation, we facilitate the legislative process as well as helping to underpin the democratic legitimacy of the Institution.

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 challenges and are customer-minded, then DG LINC could be a great place for you to do a traineeship.
