Student assistants with knowledge of the EU sought for Parliament's EU Information

The Parliament is seeking two student assistants with a strong interest in work in the EU's institutions, the Parliament's work with EU affairs, and the implementation of EU law in Denmark.

In the Parliament's EU Information, we bring the EU close to Danes.

We explain what the EU means, and why it is so important to stay informed and form an opinion. We explain how the EU and the Parliament are connected, and how EU legislation becomes Danish practice. And we do it at eye level – in a way that opens people’s eyes.

This is where you come in! If you’re a bit of an EU nerd like us, this position can give you the opportunity to try your hand at a variety of tasks, so you can surely become one of Denmark's sharpest EU minds.

Your primary tasks

You will work in the Parliament's EU Information, but will also handle tasks for the Parliament's EU consultants. Both fall under the International Secretariat in the Parliament Administration.

In the EU Information’s help desk you will provide neutral, balanced and factual information about large and small questions about the EU and Denmark's relationship to the EU to, for example, citizens, researchers, master's students, journalists, school pupils, interest groups, party-affiliated staff and members of the Parliament. You will have the opportunity to try your hand at EU law in practice, and you will delve into directives and regulations from the EU.

You will become an expert at searching databases such as the EU Court’s Curia site, the EU’s EUR-Lex with EU legislation, and Retsinformation regarding the implementation of EU legislation in Denmark. And you will become adept at understanding how the Parliament's role in the EU decision-making procedure works in practice.

In addition there will be research tasks and opportunities to, among other things, give presentations on the EU to high school students. You will also be required to update and write short articles for eu.dk .
