Our workplace

We offer competitive salaries, which are set in accordance with European Union (EU) Staff Regulations. These are adjusted with a local weighting (known as a correction coefficient) to align with the cost of living in Denmark.

Additionally, salaries are complemented by a range of allowances (e.g. family and travel allowances) to support the diverse needs of our staff. Employees also benefit from worldwide medical insurance coverage, generous annual leave and the opportunity for an EU employee pension scheme. Find out more about our employment conditions.

At the EEA, we embrace our diverse community of employees from various backgrounds and academic disciplines. Whether you’re a linguist, a data scientist, or a social scientist, you belong with us.

Our dynamic working group plays a crucial role in cultivating an inclusive workplace. We achieve this by implementing robust recruitment procedures, organizing engagement activities, and promoting diversity and inclusion principles in our daily work environment.

We aspire to continuously develop a strong, evolving organisation. This means that we emphasise a supportive environment, where learning by doing is part of everyday work. We also support and train our leaders to lead in ways that reinforce learning.

As a staff member of the EEA, you will have opportunities to learn and grow as part of your job. You will also be able to attend training that will support your learning and development journey.

Work-life balance is actively cultivated at the EEA. We understand that a healthy balance of professional and personal life leads to improved physical and mental well-being and stronger relationships both at home and at work.

We offer flexible schedules and remote work options, allowing our employees to effectively manage work and personal responsibilities.

We take pride in fostering a vibrant and engaging workplace. Our commitment to social engagements goes beyond the ordinary, creating a sense of community and well-being among our employees.

We host regular events such as summer parties, DHL run and movie nights, where colleagues unwind and share laughs. We also come together for informal get-togethers—whether it’s a coffee break, a game of table football, or a lively chat. Our active social committee ensures our calendar is brimming with exciting activities.
