“It is very exciting to participate in such an important policy area as energy, which has a direct impact on our daily lives and those of future generations. As a lawyer who has always been passionate about transnational legal issues, I find it particularly fascinating to be involved in the shaping and application of Euratom law. The working environment is very stimulating and enriching, as it allows for a constant exchange of views with people with a very diverse mix of competences and backgrounds. Luxembourg is a unique place. A capital at the centre of Europe with a very distinctive international vibe, where one can hardly feel like a foreigner.”

“Why do I cherish my job? Well, working in Luxembourg as a policy officer responsible for radioactive waste offers me a unique and rewarding career. Addressing radioactive waste challenges is both intellectually stimulating and socially responsible and contributes to a sustainable future. The European Commission is a reliable and responsible employer, that values diversity and offers competitive benefit.

And Luxembourg is the place to be! At the heart of Europe, this country is constantly evolving! It has a picturesque landscape and a vibrant culture. After a decade spent here, it still manages to surprise me from time to time.”

“My name is Mio, and I am Croat. I like Luxembourg very much since, although very modern, it is still developing and there is always something new to experience. My fear of languages disappeared since I found here a multilingual culture so, missing to speak some of the languages is completely normal

Before I became a Safeguards inspector, I was working in Nuclear Power Plants and in one research center on positions where improving the nuclear safety was the most important goal. After joining the EURATOM inspectors’ team in Luxembourg, I learned a lot about Nuclear Safeguards, and this made a big shift in my perception of the nuclear world. This job is enormously important. It has a high level of responsibility, a fair level of independence and a lot of inspections around the EU to fulfil my idea of a great job.

Moreover, the work environment with colleagues who are always happy to share their experience and take some time for new colleagues, make this job even greater.”

“Hi, I am Carmen, and I am Romanian. I joined Euratom Safeguards in 2021 as a nuclear inspector being responsible for planning and coordination of short notice inspections.

My position has a crosscutting function throughout the directorate, requiring continuous coordination and cooperation with all units and IAEA. Every day there are new challenges: use of innovative technologies, travelling to various locations etc. I am performing different tasks: from inspections on the field to meetings with specialists from all over Europe and beyond, while exchanging experiences and ideas.

We are working together to keep the world safer for us and future generations and this is very challenging and stimulating.
