The European Disability Forum (EDF) is looking for qualified and experienced real-time captioners to integrate its provider list for 2026.

Practical information :

The European Disability Forum hosts around 20 to 30 online events a year, and 5 in-person events. These events require real-time captioning .

To comply with the requirements of funding, the Forum is creating a provider list to contact for its events in 2026. The list will ensure that the selection of the provider for each event follows clear guidelines.

The successful provider should

• Be an experienced real-time captioner (accreditation desirable but not necessary).
• Have experience in captioning live events for a wide audience.
• Have a clear understanding of disability rights terminology.

Proposal and deadline:

We are inviting qualified individuals and companies to apply to our list of providers by sending:

• Hourly and daily rate for captioning (both in-person and online)
• Terms and conditions, including cancellation conditions and extra fees for image rights, intellectual property or others.
• Proof of experience if you have not collaborated with the European Disability Forum before.

Deadline: 15 December

All documents should be sent to: andre.felix@edf-feph.org

Selection of providers:

Upon receipt of the full documents, the European Disability Forum will confirm inclusion on the list of providers. Contact for interpreting events will  include the following criteria:

• Availability
• Quality of captioning
• Full cost per hour/day (including all additional costs).
