Internships in legal terminology (main subject fields: spatial planning and
sustainable development)
Internships offer the possibility of actively collaborating in the LexALP project, carried out by EURAC’s Institute for Specialised Communication and Multilingualism. The aim of the project is to harmonise the special language terminology used by the Alpine Convention in its four official languages French, German, Italian and Slovene, with particular reference to the legal terminology. This is done on the basis of terminology entries previously elaborated for the national and supranational legal systems of the Alpine region.
Further information on activities, goals and methods can be found in the following web pages: http://www.eurac.edu/Org/LanguageLaw /Multilingualism /Projects/ lexalp_general. htm or http://www.eurac. edu/lexalp.
