*Objectives*
In view of its obligation to provide a multilingual service to elected members, the objective of the DG for Interpretation and Conferences is to ensure that a sufficient number of well-qualified conference interpreters is available to cover its needs. Such conference interpreters are required to pass a demanding accreditation test, in which they are expected to interpret fluently from speeches delivered under real-life conditions.
This action is closely coordinated and jointly managed with the European Commission's DG for Interpretation which has a similar programme and faces similar needs.
*General publicity*
To make sure that potential candidates are aware of the possibility of obtaining grants and, in particular, to promote the establishment of networks of international partners, both DGs for Interpretation provide relevant information directly on their own web-site and on the EU grants website: http://ec.europa.eu/grants/index_en.htm.
Ex-post publication by the European Institutions will include: name of grant recipients, geographical location, subject of the grant, amount awarded and co-financing rate.
Beneficiaries of the grant must also ensure that the contribution by the European Union is publicly and visibly acknowledged
*Eligibility requirements*
To be eligible for a grant, the universities or institutes in question must be legally constituted and be approved by their national authorities as public or private bodies charged with a public task of teaching and organising courses at professional and post-graduate level in the field of conference interpreting.
