A peek behind EU Careers - a podcast series by EPSO

A peek behind EU Careers is the result of a pilot project by EPSO, with a view to bringing the career paths and lives of EU staff closer to the general public, and to all those interested in pursuing a career inside the EU civil service.

The interviews were conducted between July and December 2024 by Luís Loureiro de Amorim, Head of EPSO’s Outreach and External Relations unit.

The 6 episodes of the series were first published by EPSO in January 2025. The series was recorded in Brussels in the studios of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD).

A 7th episode, an interview with EPSO’s Director Minna Vuorio (2020 to 2025), was published in May 2025.

Episodes 8, 9 and 10 are interviews with three of our EU Careers Student Ambassadors. These episodes have been added in May 2025 as well.
