DESCRIPTION OF THE STEP TRAINEESHIP PROVIDER

The Academy of European Law was established in 1992 at the initiative
of the European Parliament to provide professional training and a forum
for debate for legal practitioners in European law. It is based in Trier,
Germany, just over the border from the EU’s judicial capital in
Luxembourg. It organises training events and conferences across Europe
and online, produces a wide range of e-learning programmes and
publishes a quarterly Journal. It is a public foundation of which all EU
Member States as well as the UK are patrons. The Academy’s 75
employees include nearly 20 lawyers of different nationalities, as well as
communications, technical and logistical staff. It has a purpose-built
conference centre in the ancient city of Trier in the heart of Germany’s
Mosel wine region. Luxembourg, France and Belgium are literally
next-door.
