Resources Unit

The Directorate-General for Citizens' Rights, Justice and Institutional Affairs (DG IUST) organises and facilitates the work of parliamentary committees in key areas such as culture, education, legal and constitutional affairs, gender equality, civil liberties, petitions and democracy protection. Through high-quality research, expert advice, and administrative support, DG IUST enables Members and committees to shape sound legislative and policy outcomes.

The Resources Unit is a horizontal service that supports the whole DG and works closely with the Director General. As a communication trainee, you will work to make sure that the activities of our DG are brought to light. You will mainly work on internal communication, which comprises using the DG’s intranet website and creating content to feed it. You will also assist committees and services in choosing the right means to communicate on their activities. You will help with the compilation and dissemination of the DG’s newsletter. Finally, you will also touch upon the external aspect of communication by working on the internet sites of committees and collaborating with them and other services of the European Parliament on more global campaigns.
