Brussels headquarters - staff and trainees

Regular staff at the Brussels headquarters of the

European Commission's department for European
Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations
are not recruited directly by the department. Staff
are selected through the European Personnel
Selection Office (EPSO) with all other candidates
for the EU institutions. Besides permanent
positions, EPSO also hires contract and temporary
agents, as well as interim staff on a temporary
basis for specialised tasks. Detailed information
on recruitment conditions, eligibility, and open
competitions are available on the EPSO website.
In addition, the Commission recruits university
graduates for five-month-long paid
traineeships with deployment at the Brussels
headquarters. Further information on eligibility,
conditions, and application process are available at
the Commission's Traineeship Office.
