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.
