EU services that deal with interpreting, translating or languages in general.
European Commission
DGT - Translation
DGT deals exclusively with written texts for the Commission, which are translated into and out of the EU's 24 official languages.
DG EAC - Education and Culture
The remit of DG EAC is to contribute to a knowledge-based Europe that reconciles a competitive economy and an inclusive society. In this regard, DG EAC's mission covers areas of substantial societal and political significance – quality of education, culture as a catalyst for innovation, youth and sport to name but a few. In each of these fields, DG EAC aims to stimulate the development of competences, the mobility of individuals, cross-border cooperation, involvement of stakeholders, and policy reform. One of the main requisites for this is multilingualism.
