The Network sets joint priorities through its multiannual strategy and annual work programmes. These priorities define how Agencies and JUs collaborate, share resources, and align their activities with the European Union’s strategic goals.
EUAN Multiannual Strategy 2021–2027
EUAN focuses on two strategic pillars:
- EU Agencies and Joint Undertakings as role models for administrative excellence — by sharing services and expertise, members reduce costs, avoid duplication and learn from each other. The Network supports smart, data-driven and green management methods, while keeping governance agile and transparent.
- EUAN as a valued institutional partner — stronger engagement with EU institutions, clearer common positions, and a trusted contribution to EU policy priorities ensures that the knowledge and expertise of EU Agencies and Joint Undertakings inform EU decisions and ensure efficient implementation of EU policies for the benefit of citizens.
What this means in practice
- expanding shared services and joint projects that save time and resources
- promoting knowledge exchange and innovation in digital, green and operational areas
- ensuring good governance and accountability across all activities
- building closer cooperation with the European Commission, Parliament and Council
EUAN Work programme 2026–2027
From 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027, the European Labour Authority (ELA) chairs the EU Agencies Network (EUAN).
The EUAN Work Programme 2026–2027, coordinated by ELA, follows the priorities of the EUAN Strategy 2021–2027 and builds on the achievements of the previous Chairs. The programme focuses on improving administrative practices, strengthening cooperation across the Network and promoting EUAN’s role within the EU institutional framework.
The programme also takes into account key EU developments, including the European Commission’s large-scale review of public administration, negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2028–2034, and ongoing digital transformation across the EU public sector.
Key priorities at a glance:
- Enhance administrative excellence and cooperation across EU Agencies and Joint Undertakings
- Support the digital transformation of EU public administration by sharing good practices on digital tool and AI
- Contribute to discussions on the future of EU public administration and EU budget, as well as the role of Agencies and JUs in implementing EU policies
- Foster cooperation with EU institutions and increase the visibility of the Network
