18 February 2026
Lisa Marie Scholten, Frida Österman, Stephanie Marinova

As their five-month traineeship at the EDPS comes to an end, three of the October 2025 Blue Book Trainees take over our podcast, #EDPSonAir, to reflect on their experience inside the EU institutions.

In this special episode, they look back on their journey:

  • What is it really like to be a Blue Book trainee?
  • Which projects did they work on?
  • What happens behind the scenes at the EDPS?
  • And where did their paths begin before joining us?

As a highlight, they share insights into the organisation of their own conference "Data takes flight: Navigating privacy at the airport".
