Seconded National Experts

Agencies/JUs cooperate with national institutions to enhance cooperation with Member States

Seconded National Experts programmes aim to enhance and develop the relationship between national institutions throughout EU Member States. Seconded National Experts remain in the service of their employer throughout the period of secondment and continue to be paid by that employer. The secondment duration is for full time employment and is generally 6 to 24 months (to be agreed between the current employer and the Agency/JU). The secondment may be renewed up to a maximum duration, depending on each Agency. 

Rules applicable to National Experts on the secondment to Agencies/JUs can be found on each Agency´s website. The same applies for the different calls for expression of interest for Seconded National Experts.
