Traineeship

Thank you for the interest you showed in the activities of the Authority by applying for the 2012 traineeship call which has expired on 10/02/2012.

EFSA received many applications and we would like to inform you that candidates not contacted by 30/09/2012 can assume that they have not been selected.

However EFSA is planning to launch a new call in December 2012.

In-service training is a period spent at the European Food Safety Authority, in accordance with the rules set out in the “Decision of the Executive Director of the European Food Safety Authority on the acceptance of trainees for an in-service training”. In-service training enables trainees to acquire practical experience by means of their work and to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired during their academic studies or professional careers in the areas of science, communication or administration.

In-service training takes place within the fields of activity of the European Food Safety Authority. Detailed information related to the activities and structure of the European Food Safety Authority can be found by visiting the EFSA website.

The European Food Safety Authority takes care to avoid any form of discrimination in its procedures.

Please note that the personal information EFSA requests from candidates will be processed in line with Regulation (EC) N° 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data. The purpose of processing of the personal data candidates submit is to manage applications in view of a possible in-service training period at EFSA.
