„Leta 2014 sem se zaposlil na Evropski komisiji kot vodja skupine v oddelku za IT Generalnega direktorata za obdavčenje in carinsko unijo (TAXUD). V tisti funkciji sem vodil skupino štirih odličnih sodelavcev, s katerimi sem upravljal sedem vseevropskih carinskih projektov.

Bilo mi je v veliko zadovoljstvo, ko so se sistemi, ki smo jih razvili, začeli uporabljati po vsej Evropski uniji, pa tudi zunaj nje. Z velikim veseljem sem sodeloval tudi pri različnih pogajanjih o carinskih vprašanjih med EU in tretjimi državami, med drugim Srbijo, Črno goro, Kitajsko, Rusijo in Japonsko.

Od leta 2019 sem vodja sektorja za upravljanje storitev v Generalnem direktoratu za informatiko (DIGIT). V tej funkciji vodim ekipo več kot 65 strokovnjakov, ki zagotavljajo podporo uporabnikom internih sistemov Evropske komisije.

Delo v DIGIT mi je zelo všeč, ker imam čudovite in profesionalne sodelavce, ki so vedno pripravljeni priskočiti na pomoč. Svoje delo tako obvladajo, da ni problema, ki ga ne bi znali rešiti. Vodje skupin mojega sektorja so dobri vodstveni delavci in izkušeni strokovnjaki na področju IT ter mi omogočajo lažje usklajevanje kompleksnih nalog.“

„V skladu z mojo življenjsko filozofijo ni nikoli prepozno za to, da stopiš na novo poklicno pot. Ker se zavedam stalnih potreb po informatikih v vseh segmentih evropskega trga dela ter se že dolgo zanimam za informacijske sisteme in kibernetsko varnost, sem se odločila za poklicno pot na področju digitalnih tehnologij.

Zaposlila sem se v generalnem direktoratu za informatiko, kjer vodim ekipo koordinacijskega središča v enoti za digitalno preobrazbo in usklajevanje. Vznemirljivo je biti del enote, ki oblikuje novo digitalno strategijo Evropske komisije, sodeluje pri vzpostavitvi brezpapirnih postopkov, s čimer prispeva k varstvu našega občutljivega okolja, ter sodelavce v drugih direktoratih podpira pri izvajanju digitalnih procesov oblikovanja politik že od prvih faz priprave prihodnjih politik EU.

Moje delo mi prinaša številne priložnosti na področju mreženja, podpore in učenja. Vsak dan spoznavam sodelavce iz različnih okolij, na različnih položajih in z različnimi odgovornostmi. Moja ekipa zagotavlja končno podporo institucionalnim uporabnikom ter se pri izmenjavi znanja in dobre prakse stalno uči.“

“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."
