2024 Annual virtual visit to DG Translation

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

During the virtual visit, master's students 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 students' 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 will open on 7 October. Stay tuned!

Important information:

  • Priority will be given to the participation of universities and participants from EU member countries.
  • Classroom connections are highly recommended for universities to give the opportunity to as many students as possible to participate.
