The ECML offers traineeships, lasting in general 6 months, twice a year. Recruiting young professionals from all over Europe to join its team for a short period both reinforces the Centre’s role as a place of international cooperation and promotes an atmosphere of intercultural learning. For the trainees it often represents their first experience of an international organisation.

- Organisation of events and meetings (Programme);
