2024 Annual virtual visit to DG Translation

The aim is to bring together students studying for a master's in translation & linguistic studies, professional linguists and translators working for the European Commission to give the participants a glimpse of their daily work.  

During the virtual visit, participants will learn about:

  • the work of European Commission translators
  • translation tools and methods used in DG Translation
  • the required skills for translators
  • the various translation profiles
  • career and traineeship opportunities at the European Commission.

Professional translators working for the Commission will share their experience and answer participants' questions in interactive virtual rooms.

The programme will include:

  • an introduction to DG Translation, the work of translators and career opportunities, given in English
  • breakout rooms for each of the 24 official EU languages where students can interact with translators and ask questions.

How and when to register

Registration opened on 7 October. Stay tuned!

Priority will be given to:

  • universities and participants from EU member countries.
  • classroom connections. These are highly recommended for universities to give the opportunity to as many students as possible to participate. 

Places are limited to 1000 connections, therefore registrations will be validated on a first come first served basis.  

Registrations are now closed. The maximum number of registrations has been reached.
