Empowering local and regional

The European Committee of the Regions is the voice of regions and cities in the European Union. No village, town, or city is too far for us to bring it closer to the pulse of EU politics.

By empowering local and regional elected politicians to shape the EU legislation, we pursue our mission to create a Union closer to its citizens and built on their needs.

By joining the CoR, you will contribute to make Europe a great place to live.

Meet the people of the CoR

The CoR staff works tirelessly for the voice of European regions and cities. But what better occasion to listen to your future colleagues to know how a day within the CoR looks like?

Klaus BOELE

The CoR is a small, dynamic place and staff are always encouraged to bring in new ideas – for our internal organization and for impact on EU legislation. For me, it is the only EU institution that connects you both to the big politics in Brussels and to hundreds of decision-makers from big and small places all over Europe.

Sara Milano

With more than 10 years of HR experience in the private sector behind my back, I felt it was time for a turn and I wanted to work for a bigger and common project…what best than giving my little contribution to shape the Europe of tomorrow? The CoR was indeed the right place to pursue this ambition. I found great support, growth and learning opportunities while working in an institution with a friendly and human dimension, where people work together for common and tangible goals. This is what makes the CoR unique.

Klaus HULLMANN

Le CdR  présente une structure plus petite, "à taille humaine", qui permet un contact plus personnalisé entre collègues  et un rôle plus polyvalent dans la structure. Ici, on ne collabore pas avec des "unités" ou des "directions" mais avec des collègues.

Delphine LANGLOIS

Ce qui m'a attiré au Comité était le contact avec les élus locaux, travailler dans une institution politique qui fonctionne de façon similaire au Parlement européen mais a un réel ancrage sur le terrain, cherche à transformer le monde à partir d'expériences concrètes et vécues.

Our working and contractual conditions are based on the Staff Regulations (SR) and the Conditions of Employment of other Servants of the European Communities (CEOS).
