Who we are
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, in particular in core activities related to legislative, budgetary and scrutiny functions. DG LINC provides a professional and user-oriented organisational framework to meetings and conferences including linguistic, technical and logistical support to meetings. DG LINC helps Members of Parliament get their message across in all official languages, making the legislative process accessible to citizens. It enables Parliament to further reach out to citizens with the capacity to organise conferences and cultural events outside part-sessions in Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg.
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.
The Communications and Outreach Unit of DG LINC is a friendly and dynamic team. Our Unit is responsible for internal and external communication in the field of interpretation, technical and logistical conference services. Activities range from communication on the Intranet and on social media to awareness raising campaigns targeted at the next generation of interpreters and meetings professionals and organisation of events both online and on-site.
