DESCRIPTION OF THE STEP TRAINEESHIP PROVIDER

An internship at ERA offers you the opportunity to gain first-hand
experience in marketing and corporate communications, helping to
promote our training activities for legal professionals across Europe.
The Academy of European Law (ERA) was founded in 1992 at the
initiative of the European Parliament to provide professional training
and a forum for debate for legal practitioners in European law. Based in
Trier, Germany, just over the border from the EU’s judicial capital,
Luxembourg, ERA offers a dynamic and international working
environment.

As a public, non-profit foundation supported by all EU Member States
and the United Kingdom, ERA is co-funded by the European Union and
the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. Its team of around 75 employees,
including nearly 20 lawyers of different nationalities, as well as
communications, technical and logistical specialists, organises face-toface, hybrid and online events, develops e-learning programmes, and
publishes the quarterly ERA Forum journal. ERA 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
nextdoor.

“For me, the best part was seeing how an organisation works from the
inside. I learned a lot just by being part of an international team and
attending legal events. It motivated me to stay active in the field of EU
law and always do activities on top of my studies.”
- ELSA intern at ERA, Spring 2025
