DESCRIPTION OF THE STEP TRAINEESHIP PROVIDER

Founded in June 2011 as an entirely independent organisation, the
European Law Institute (ELI) aims to improve the quality of European
law, understood in the broadest sense. It seeks to initiate, conduct and
facilitate research, to make recommendations, and to provide practical
guidance in the field of European legal development.
The Institute has high ambitions, reflected in its Manifesto and in its
Articles of Association. It will study and stimulate European legal
development in a global context. That should be taken to include, but by
no means be limited to, the development of European law by the
European Union and the Council of Europe.
