nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international

of breaking news, visualisation of textual information, etc. For more

multi-disciplinary and multilingual environment.

Indicative duration of the stay is 6 to 12 months. CONDITION for
Detached National Experts is that they are temporarily detached from
their home organisation (ministries, national research centres,
universities, companies, etc.)! They receive a 105 Euro per day
