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.
