Brussels, Belgique European Defense Agency Temps plein

The European Defence Agency was established on 12 July 2004, and is governed by Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1835 defining the statute, seat and operational rules of the European Defence Agency. The Agency has its headquarters in Brussels.

The main task of EDA is to support the Council and the Member States in their effort to improve the Union's defence capabilities in the field of crisis management and to sustain the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) as it currently stands and as it develops in the future.

The Agency is structured into four directorates. The Corporate Services Directorate (CSD) and three operational directorates: Industry, Synergies and Enablers (ISE); Capability, Armament & Planning (CAP); Research, Technology and Innovation (RTI).

**2. THE AGENCY'S WAY OF WORKING**

The Agency is an “outward-facing” organisation, constantly interacting with its shareholders, the participating Member States, as well as with a wide range of stakeholders. It works in an integrated way, with multi-disciplinary teams representing all of the Agency’s functional areas, to realise its objectives. Its business processes are flexible and oriented towards achieving results. Staff at all levels need to demonstrate the corresponding qualities of commitment, flexibility, innovation, and team-working; to work effectively with shareholders and stakeholder groups, formal and informal; and to operate without the need for detailed direction.

**3. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE TRAINEESHIP**

EDA’s traineeship programme is addressed to university graduates, including those who, in the framework of lifelong learning, have recently obtained a university diploma and are at the beginning of a new professional career.

The aim of EDA’s traineeship programme is:
- to create a pool of young people with first-hand understanding of EDA’s mission and activities.
- to enrich the work of EDA with a fresh point of view and up-to-date academic knowledge.
- to promote European integration and create awareness of European citizenship in a multi-cultural and multilingual environment.

While at EDA, trainees will be working side by side with motivated and highly qualified experts coming from the participating Member States and they will have the opportunity to contribute to specific projects within the Agency.

**4. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S POLICY OFFICE**

The Chief Executive’s Policy Office works in direct support of the Agency’s top management (Chief Executive & Deputy Chief Executive). It is responsible for strategic policy development, planning and coordination of EDA’s activities. The Office is the Agency’s prime interface at policy level towards Member States and is responsible for relations with EU institutions and bodies, as well as third parties. It acts as the Secretariat of the Steering Board and of the Agency Management Board.

**5. THE TRAINEESHIP**

The aim of this traineeship is to contribute to the coordination of third-party involvement and interest in EDA, as well as assist with documentation research on a variety of topics.

**6. TASKS AND DUTIES**

Under the supervision of his/her advisor, the Trainee Policy will work with colleagues mainly in the area of EDA’s relations with third parties and will contribute to/be responsible for the following activities:

- monitoring cooperation activities with third States having an established cooperation with EDA;
- preparing files and meetings with third States who express an interest in EDA’s activities;
- supporting EDA’s contribution to EU-NATO cooperation.

A typical day at work involves the following activities:

- preparing an overview of each third State involvement in EDA activities, in particular by interacting with EDA Project Officers;
- preparing and taking part in meetings with a third State that has expressed an interest in learning about EDA and possibly developing a cooperation;
- taking part in coordination meetings on EU-NATO cooperation with EEAS, Commission and NATO staff.

**7. LEARNING OUTCOMES**

**A. Project outputs & learning outcomes**

The selected trainee will be involved in managing relations with third parties. The selected trainee will become familiar with and will acquire practical experience in some specific areas of international cooperation in defence as well as the policy dimension inherent in handling EDA’s relations with third parties. S/he will gain knowledge in EU defence initiatives, EU “wider policies” beside defence, and also military domains (space, maritime, etc. depending on the specific issues at hand).
**B. Technical / Soft skills to be acquired**

From this experience the trainee will gain:

- ability to work effectively in a EU/multinational and complex environment;
- ability to work in a small team and independently in his/her area of responsibility;
