“As an engineer, I have always had a passion for improving people’s lives through the use of technology. My job gives me the opportunity to improve the lives of 450 million European citizens every single day!

Working at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre allows me to use my engineering skills to support EU policies in space applications and telecommunications. 

With access to state-of-the-art research facilities and a pool of incredibly talented colleagues, I can contribute to fascinating projects that shape Europe’s future in space and terrestrial communications. That is what I call a dream job!”

Luxembourg is the place to be for anybody interested in EU Law, since it is the seat of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The Court offers job opportunities and traineeships for people from all the Member States, both with legal and other backgrounds. Did you know that the Court also offers unique ways to make use of your national university degree, such as becoming a lawyer-linguist? As a lawyer-linguist, you make sure that the documents that the Court produces are legally correct in your own language. If you have a law degree from any of the Member States and foreign languages are your thing, you and the Court could be a match made in heaven!  

Of course, Luxembourg is so much more than the Court. Indeed, it is easy to fall for this continuously developing and ever-changing gem of a country. It has a multilingual and multicultural population, perfectly organised sports and cultural events, great diversity of restaurants, up-to-date facilities for spare time activities, modern and free public transport system, beautiful landscapes and a fairy-tale capital, the old part of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Have you ever run a marathon at dusk in a carnival atmosphere, gone hiking in the Ardennes, eaten Gromperekichelcher at Schueberfouer, visited Éimaischen or celebrated Bretzelsonndeg? If not, it is about time to make it happen and come to Luxembourg!

“I’m passionate about transforming complex information into knowledge people can use. Behind every decision lies data – and how we manage it shapes our future.

At the European Parliament, I work on data governance and modern platforms that connect information across domains, making it FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

It’s exciting to see how technology and governance come together to empower better policymaking and innovation in Europe’s most dynamic democratic environment.”

“Having grown up between Wallonia and Flanders and having later spent ten years as a young adult in Germany, multilingualism and multiculturalism have always been a part of my life. Working for the Council of the EU combines my passion for language, my multicultural background and my profound belief in the European project. My work as a French-language translator is meaningful and directly serves my fellow citizens and my continent. Due to the very political nature of the Council, deadlines are short and flexibility is required, which means our work can be challenging, but also very stimulating and rewarding.”

“I studied translation and worked as a translator, but back in 2013 the EPSO translation competition wasn’t even on my radar. Passing it was a welcome twist in my career. Now I get to work with some of the best translators out there, diving into the kind of topics that constantly make the news. Climate neutrality, artificial intelligence, gender equality – you name it, we translate it. Here at the Commission, we play an active role in shaping the world we live in (as well as the language we speak!). It’s never boring either: my browser search history is all over the place, a true badge of honour for any translator. It is a job that helps you grow immensely, both as a professional and as a person. But don’t just take my word for it – apply and see for yourself. In bocca al lupo! (EN: good luck!)”

"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."

"Multilingualism - the possibility to express and inform oneself in any official language - plays a key role in Europe. This makes my work at the European Parliament’s Directorate-General for Translation useful. As the leader of the team responsible for TRAD’s statistics, I can analyse and make available information about the use of languages, as well as show the work of our translators. I like the fact that my work includes different skills. I am working with the technical part of data processing as well as the design of metrics to monitor the situation. Therefore, collecting, cleaning and organizing data is my daily job, in addition to creating new metrics fitting our management needs and issuing/reworking our indicators set."

“As a former translation scholar, I have always believed that translation ought not to be a mechanical, but instead a creative endeavour, carried out by people who strive towards communicating clearly with the public in a way that is exciting and engaging.

As a language professional of the European Parliament’s Directorate for Translation, I get to dedicate my time to translating subtitles, podcasts, press releases, and many other types of texts that not only document the content of the original texts, but also resonate with the target audience.”

“My name is Mio, and I am Croat. I like Luxembourg very much since, although very modern, it is still developing and there is always something new to experience. My fear of languages disappeared since I found here a multilingual culture so, missing to speak some of the languages is completely normal

Before I became a Safeguards inspector, I was working in Nuclear Power Plants and in one research center on positions where improving the nuclear safety was the most important goal. After joining the EURATOM inspectors’ team in Luxembourg, I learned a lot about Nuclear Safeguards, and this made a big shift in my perception of the nuclear world. This job is enormously important. It has a high level of responsibility, a fair level of independence and a lot of inspections around the EU to fulfil my idea of a great job.

Moreover, the work environment with colleagues who are always happy to share their experience and take some time for new colleagues, make this job even greater.”

“It is very exciting to participate in such an important policy area as energy, which has a direct impact on our daily lives and those of future generations. As a lawyer who has always been passionate about transnational legal issues, I find it particularly fascinating to be involved in the shaping and application of Euratom law. The working environment is very stimulating and enriching, as it allows for a constant exchange of views with people with a very diverse mix of competences and backgrounds. Luxembourg is a unique place. A capital at the centre of Europe with a very distinctive international vibe, where one can hardly feel like a foreigner.”
