As always, the full list of EU vacancies closing in the next seven days is at the bottom of this email.

This week’s spotlight

An unusual job vacancy is closing this week for a Project Officer FG III. What makes it unique is that several executive agencies are advertising a single role.

We often discuss EU agencies, but there are in fact two types of agencies in the EU civil service. Executive and decentralized.

Decentralised agencies

There are currently over 30 decentralised agencies. They have their own legal personalities, are set up for an indefinite period and are distinct from the EU institutions.

Decentralised agencies contribute to the implementation of EU policies. They also support cooperation between the EU and national governments by pooling technical and specialist expertise and knowledge from both the EU institutions and national authorities.

Decentralised agencies are spread across Europe and work on issues affecting the everyday lives of nearly 450 million people living in the EU. Examples include food, medicine, justice, transport safety, drug addiction and the environment

Executive agencies

The European Commission has set up 6 executive agencies for a limited period of time to manage specific tasks associated with EU programmes. These executive agencies, which are legal entities, work on Commission initiatives ranging from health and education to innovation and research.

A word from our team

Although most of the time we write about decentralized agencies, there are in fact several differences between various EU bodies, that we refer to above. Do you find the various types of EU bodies confusing as an outsider? If so, let us know by email - we will draft a new guide based on your feedback.
