IT traineeship 2022 – Web developer trainee

The European Ombudsman’s mission is to support European citizenship. We do this by dealing with complaints and by working with the institutions of the EU to help create a more accountable, transparent, ethical and effective administration. To fulfil this mission, we deal with complaints concerning maladministration by EU institutions, conduct own-initiative inquiries into systemic issues, and encourage good administrative practices in the EU’s administration.
Our guiding principles are independence, integrity, fairness, accountability, transparency, dialogue, and service.
