“Designing for democracy — that’s what drives me every day at the European Parliament. Through visual storytelling, I help make Europe’s voice clearer, fairer, and closer to its people. As a strong believer in human rights and the EU’s mission, I’m proud to turn complex ideas into accessible, engaging content. Working in a vibrant, multicultural environment is deeply enriching — it fuels creativity, broadens perspectives, and reminds me daily of the power of unity in diversity. Here, creativity meets purpose — and every day is a chance to learn, grow, and make an impact.”

"As a graphic designer, I’m energised by the chance to create visuals for products that reach audiences across Europe. Last year, I had the privilege of designing the layout for the EU Strategic Agenda — a document that defines the EU’s priorities and strategic direction for the years ahead.

What drives me most is working in a studio environment with fellow graphic designers from diverse backgrounds; their insights push my creative thinking and spark fresh, original solutions.

The fast-paced and ever-evolving nature of our work means no two days are the same — whether we’re shaping branding for the Education Committee’s 50th anniversary or crafting striking visuals for research on brain–computer interfaces."

"Working as an Assistant Audiovisual Producer is an exciting opportunity to blend creativity, coordination, and strategic communication. I get to be creative every day, helping turn ideas into videos and visuals that really connect with people. It’s a busy role where you need to stay organized and work well with others, but that’s what makes it interesting. I love how the job mixes teamwork, storytelling, and creativity to produce visuals and videos that catch attention and help people understand important messages in a simple and engaging way."

"Since 2009, I’ve managed the Council of the EU’s website, working closely with content creators, designers, and developers to ensure clear communication of the Council’s work.

I publish content, plan new features, and support CMS users across teams. I enjoy the variety — from CMS migrations to developing new content types — and take pride in improving both the user experience and internal workflows.

With a background in international commerce and Chinese studies, I started in digital early, managing web projects in both public and private sectors before joining the Council."

"As a graphic designer in the DG COMM visual communication team, I have the opportunity to bring the European Commission's political priorities to life. Every day, I work on transforming complex messages into clear and compelling visuals across various media platforms, from print to digital, tailored for diverse audiences in close collaboration with my social media and audiovisual colleagues.  

I’ve a passion for design and branding, and I have the chance with my job to create visual identities that effectively communicate the Commission’s key actions. I also play a crucial role in maintaining the corporate Commission visual identity and, ensuring a harmonious and coherent image that resonates with citizens. This role allows me to give trainings to inform colleagues about the visual rules and to collaborate with the graphic designers across all the Commission's departments.

As part of a presidential service, I'm proud to support the communication efforts of the President of the Commission. It’s a dynamic environment where creativity meets strategy, and I’m thrilled to be at the heart of it all!"

“Europe is a beautiful idea - but it needs to become a shared feeling. Today, there is no more powerful way to reach people emotionally with our common values, projects, actions, and policies than through the creativity, interactivity, and flexibility that social media offers.
It has long been my dream to help EU institutions connect with citizens through social media - to bring Europe closer to their hearts and minds. Participating in an EPSO competition allowed me to make that dream a reality.

Today, I coordinate the social media work of the Commission’s Representations and provide editorial leadership across our network.”

I’m responsible for coordinating the organisation of the European Youth Event (EYE). The EYE brings together thousands of young people at the European Parliament in Strasbourg to shape and share their ideas on the future of Europe.

I very much enjoy what I do: my daily tasks are quite varied and I find it rewarding to work with and for young people from the European Union and beyond.

In my role, I coordinate the different teams responsible for the programme, external communication and logistics of the event. I also liaise with the different external parties involved in such a large-scale event to make sure everything comes together smoothly.

I have a background in communication and languages. After my Bachelor’s degree in Communication studies in Lisbon, my hometown, I took a Master's in Cultural and Creative Industries at King's College in London.

After a variety of work experiences - mostly working as a freelancer and in the private sector - I joined the European Parliament in 2013. I started working as a translator in Luxembourg, then moved to Brussels to work in internal communication in the field of IT, before taking up my current position in communication and events at the European Parliament’s Directorate-General for Communication.

I joined the European Commission’s department for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) financial stability and financial services in 2019. I first worked on digital and sustainable finance policies before joining the press team. We promote our policies to the press, stakeholders and the wider public in close cooperation with policy units, the Spokesperson service and the Commissioner’s Cabinet.

My duties are to design, plan and deliver communication activities on retail and digital finance, such as press releases, events and campaigns, speaking points, press reviews, or content for our monthly newsletter and social media. I am also in charge of coordinating Eurobarometer surveys, i.e. opinion polls directed at EU citizens, on financial services on for the department. Finally, I am DG FISMA’s internal communication correspondent: I promote staff engagement by relaying important news, organising all-staff meetings, and managing our very own “FISMA TV”!

I have a background in public policy, law and economics and hold a Master in European Affairs. I previously gained experience on European political and economic issues in the French civil service and Senate, Commission representation in the UK, Commission competition department, and in a public affairs consultancy.

I joined the European Commission in 2002 and I currently work at the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC). I am a Programme Manager for Erasmus+ and part of “European Year of Youth 2022” team.

I am proud to have launched an incredible project called DiscoverEU that gives a chance to 18 years old to win a free travel pass. The fact that my job has an impact on European youth is something that I find very rewarding. My day is spent liaising with youth organisations and young people all over Europe, using social media, disseminating information and building a community of DiscoverEU travellers.

I completed my studies in Marketing and my career path was in advertising. I was always attracted by an international and multicultural environment; and this is why the European Commission was a natural choice for me.

"I am Krystle and I work as a communications assistant at the European Commission in Brussels, I have reduced mobility and I have been working for the European institution since 2002.

I highly recommend applying! No physical handicap is an obstacle, competitions are based on knowledge, not a marathon. Everyone is accepted, nationality, color, gender, physical disability, ... nothing is an obstacle. All EU nationalities from all horizons are represented, the difference is positive. Maltese PRM or Estonian visually impaired, it has no importance. Multicultural means working with others, without making any distinctions. The Institutions have set up services that welcome all types of people, equal opportunities are a real right."
