Organisation of meetings - behind the scenes
How do you get up to 1000 interpreters to go to the right meeting every day? The European Commission's Directorate General of Interpretation provides interpreters for some 11,000 meetings each year. Making sure that the 120,000 to 140,000 interpreter-days are filled with the right people with the right languages is the task of DG Interpretation's Programming Unit.
