A working group of HDKP’s Professional Development and Projects Committee has organized a workshop – Intensive Retour Exercises – where our colleagues, native speakers of English and German, who used to work for DG SCIC or still do will be giving feedback and advice.
The target participants of the workshop are experienced conference interpreters who regularly interpret into English or German, primarily at the EU institutions, but also on the private market. Therefore, the workshop can be a good preparation for those who are planning to take an accreditation test for the EU institutions.
Here you will find all necessary information as well as the application form.
The number of participants is limited, so hurry up and apply today!
