The application deadline is March 10, 2026.

Whether peace and security, climate protection, the economy or digitalization: Europe is facing a wide range of challenges today that will shape our future. It is precisely these decisions for the future of Europe that are being made in the European Union. If you want to meet these challenges and play an active role in shaping these issues, you can apply to the EU from February 5 to March 10!

For the first time since 2019, the EU is once again holding a general selection procedure ("Concours") for university graduates. This selection procedure paves the way for permanent employment as a civil servant at the EU - an exciting job with many opportunities.

We wish all students who apply good luck!
