Request Management Unit

The Directorate-General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences (DG LINC) provides the linguistic, technical and logistical support for the organisation of the parliamentary meetings and conferences of EP Members and bodies. By supplying state-of-the-art conference facilities, including high-quality interpretation services and conference organisation, we contribute to facilitating 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-oriented, then DG LINC is the perfect place to enjoy your 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.
