What We Do

Innovation, creativity, vision and, above all, determination and team spirit, all this is Terminology Coordination!

The TermCoord team’s main role is to assist translators with their day-to-day tasks and facilitate terminology research and terminology management in the translation units, as well to increase the EP’s contribution to the EU terminology database IATE.

• we coordinate IATE and prepare different terminology projects involving the terminologists and trainees of the translation units;
• we provide translators with different terminology and documentation tools and resources;
• we look for new terminology and provide related glossaries and definitions for important legislative procedures;
• we organise various training sessions and workshops, as well as larger academic seminars on terminology-related issues.
• we cooperate with relevant services and management groups both within the Parliament and on an interinstitutional level;
• we keep in contact with universities, terminology bodies and experts in order to share knowledge, experience and material.
