“Chuaigh mé leis an gCoimisiún Eorpach in 2014 mar cheann foirne i roinn TF Ard-Stiúrthóireacht an Chánachais agus an Aontais Custaim (TAXUD). Sa ról sin bhí mé i gceannas ar fhoireann de cheathrar comhghleacaithe iontacha lenar bhainistigh mé seacht dtionscadal custaim thras-Eorpacha.

Thug sé an-sásamh dom go raibh na córais a d’fhorbraíomar á n-úsáid tríd an Aontas Eorpach ar fad agus ní b’fhaide i gcéin. Bhí mé an-sásta freisin páirt a ghlacadh in idirbheartaíochtaí éagsúla i ndáil le cúrsaí custaim a bhí ar siúl idir an tAontas agus tíortha nach Ballstáit den Aontas iad, an tSeirbia, Montainéagró, an tSín, an Rúis agus an tSeapáin ina measc.

Ó bhí 2019 ann, is mé atá i gceannas ar earnáil an bhainistithe seirbhíse in Ard-Stiúrthóireacht na Faisnéisíochta (DIGIT). Is é mo chúramsa ceannaireacht a thabhairt d’fhoireann ina bhfuil níos mó ná 65 ghairmí a sholáthraíonn tacaíocht d’úsáideoirí chórais chorparáideacha an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh.

Taitníonn an obair le DIGIT go mór liom toisc go bhfuil comhghleacaithe gairmiúla den chéad scoth agam, agus bíonn siad réidh i gcónaí le cuidiú liomsa agus le daoine eile más gá. Tá siad chomh maith sin ag a gcuid oibre nach dtagann aon fhadhb aníos nach féidir leo a réiteach. Na cinn foirne san earnáil ina bhfuilimse, is bainisteoirí maithe iad agus is gairmithe TF iad a bhfuil an-taithí acu freisin, agus bíonn sé níos éasca domsa tascanna casta a chomhordú dá bharr sin.”

“Is é mo dhearcadh saoil féin nach mbíonn sé riamh rómhall le tabhairt faoi chonairí gairme nua. Ós rud é go mbím ar an eolas faoin éileamh leanúnach ar phróifílí TF i ngach réimse de mhargadh fostaíochta na hEorpa agus go bhfuil spéis agam i gcórais TF agus sa chibearshlándáil le fada an lá, rinne mé cinneadh an saol digiteach a chuimsiú i mo shaol gairmiúil.

Chuaigh mé le hArd-Stiúrthóireacht na Faisnéisíochta agus tá mé i gceannas ar fhoireann an Mhoil Comhordúcháin in aonad an Aistrithe agus an Chomhordúcháin Dhigitigh. Is iontach an rud é bheith mar chuid d’aonad atá ag múnlú straitéis nua dhigiteach an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh, ag cuidiú chun próisis gan pháipéar a chur ar bun d’fhonn an comhshaol leochaileach a chaomhnú, agus ag cuidiú le comhghleacaithe in Ard-Stiúrthóireachtaí eile próisis ceaptha beartas a chur i bhfeidhm atá réidh don aistriú digiteach ó na chéad chéimeanna ar aghaidh maidir le dréachtú beartas an Aontais amach anseo.

Tá deiseanna éagsúla ar fáil dom sa phost ina bhfuilim, mar shampla deiseanna chun líonrú a dhéanamh, chun tacaíocht a thabhairt agus chun bheith ag foghlaim. Gach lá cuirim aithne ar chomhghleacaithe ó chúlraí éagsúla agus a bhfuil poist agus freagrachtaí éagsúla acu. Cuireann m’fhoireann an tacaíocht is fearr ar fáil do chliaint chorparáideacha agus bíonn na baill foirne ag síorfhoghlaim agus iad ag malartú eolais agus dea-chleachtas.”

“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 am Frédéric and I 've been working for the EU institutions since 1998. I used to be in charge of accessibility for people with reduced mobility at the OIB (the European Commission's office for infrastructure and logistics) for many years.

I am currently working at the Diversity and Inclusion Office at the DG Human Resources and Security (EU Commission) as a policy officer specialising in disability and mainstreaming accessibility initiatives across learning and development, outreach and communication.

The handicap is an advantage here! I present it in a joyful way. I do not give the impression of dragging all the misery of the world behind me. And because I have a dog, it helps, it is the mascot."
