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?

"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."

Delphine LANGLOIS

"La combinaison du caractère

international et multiculturel du CdR avec son rôle d'institution proche des citoyens et de leur réalité de vie, en fait un lieu unique où travailler et œuvrer à la consolidation du projet européen."

Paola CARUSO

"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."

Klaus BOELE

Multicultural, dynamic and diverse, community

Throughout your professional path, you can always count on the support of a small but multicultural, dynamic and diverse, community of experts.
