Strasbourg Conferences 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, 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 Strasbourg Conferences Unit’s (SCU) mandate is to promote democratic debate outside plenary sessions and to further develop its capacity to co-organise conferences as well as cultural and high-level events at the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

The Unit provides a holistic conference offer to civil society and youth organisations outside plenary sessions with the objective to evolve the seat of the European Parliament into a Citizens’ Hub. Furthermore, it welcomes high-level conferences of institutional weight in the premises of the European Parliament. Finally, the unit is involved in outreach activities towards potential partners from civil society and other stakeholders via several communication channels, such as Social Media, a dedicated website, a promotional film and brochures and dedicated meetings. 

Your tasks may consist of:

• Contributing to outreach work towards potential new partners;
• Drafting input for our website and social media accounts and create social content and campaigns; 
• Accompanying the internal project concerning the compliance to the transparency rules by external organisers and active participants of events within the European Parliament premises;
• Assisting with the planning, organisation and logistical arrangements of events, conferences and other meetings in the European Parliament’s premises with external partners;
• Providing on-site support during conferences, including registration assistance and participant queries.

• Have strong organisational skills and attention to detail;
• Have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal;
• You are not afraid of managing complex conferences projects;
• You are experienced with social media (Facebook, X, Instagram);
• You are experienced in creating social media content;
• You are fluent in French and/or German, as the unit notably works with citizens from France and Germany;
• A good command of English would be considered an asset.
