The European Commission’s Welcome Office helps newcomers and their families settle in Brussels (and in Luxembourg too).

They make available useful information and the ‘Soon in Brussels’ guide to give newly arrived Commission staff an overview of what they can expect when moving to Brussels, and to give them tips and information to make their new start successful!

This information is publicly available to all and can be of benefit to anyone interested in learning more about Brussels and wishing to join in the future the European Commission, as well as other Brussels-based EU institutions.

The European Commission has also welcome guides for newcomers to their Joint Research Centre (JRC) sites in Geel (Belgium), Ispra (Italy), Karlsruhe (Germany), Petten (the Netherlands), and Seville (Spain). You can access those guides on the dedicated European Commission’s website: Working at the Commission – conditions and environment - European Commission (europa.eu)
