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.

A career at the CoR
Our staff are mainly officials recruited via the reserve lists from general competitions organised by the European Personnel Selection Office. In certain circumstances, however, the European Committee of the Regions may also engage temporary or contract staff.
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).
Procedure
The application process for a position at the CoR depends on the contract type. However, in order to be recruited as an official by an EU institution, you have to follow a competition procedure that might include several oral and written tests.
