“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!

“Behind every insightful report or AI model lies an orchestrated effort — governance, architecture, data quality, and the right tools working seamlessly together to turn data into value.

As a Data Project Manager at the Court of Justice of the European Union, I’m proud to help build and strengthen these foundations. Our goal is to create a robust, scalable data ecosystem that not only supports today’s reporting and analytics needs, but also enables innovation, AI, and trusted decision-making for the future.

With the right foundations in place, we ensure that data serves every purpose, making it not just available, but truly valuable.”

“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!)”

"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!"

"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.”
