Description
Vacancy notice: COM/2023/2449
Function group: Administrator
Grade: AD5-AD8
Unit: DIGIT.B.2, Brussels
Publication: until 20/10/2023, 12.00 hours noon Brussels time
We are
The Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT) is responsible for the management and co-ordination of information and telecommunication technology for the Commission's services and, in particular, for identifying, articulating and implementing a modern and dynamic corporate Information Technology vision and a strategy which is fully aligned with the Commission's overall priorities, in close cooperation with the IT governance structures.
Unit DIGIT.B2 “Interoperability” designs and implements the EU’s policy in the area of digital government/public sector interoperability. Interoperability – the capability of systems and organisations to cooperate across functional, sectoral and physical borders – is an important support function for successful digital transformation. While our focus is on the public sector, we seek also to stimulate innovation through public-private cooperation under the label “GovTech”.
Our proposal for a regulation, the Interoperable Europe Act, aims to strengthen public sector interoperability and will serve as our main policy framework for the years to come. We interact and support Member States (country CIOs and central digital transformation offices), partners at regional and local levels, with international organisations and third countries (UN, OECD, World Bank, Western Balkans) and with private sector players (GovTech SMEs and startups, open-source communities, academia).
The policy work is supported and implemented by a set of more technically oriented actions under the umbrella of the SEMIC action – Semantic Interoperability, which is the home to a community of adopters that share tooling, standards and good practices to promote semantic interoperability.
We propose
There is currently an open vacancy in DIGIT.B2. According to Article 29 of the Staff Regulations, the candidatures from officials of the Institutions and laureates of competitions have precedence over candidatures from other categories of persons. The post is therefore also published internally in the Commission and inter-institutionally, and it is brought to the attention of competition laureates via the appropriate channels. However, should no suitable candidate be found among the aforementioned categories, it would be possible to consider other candidates, for a temporary agent position.
For these reasons, any person fulfilling the selection requirements may express his/her interest for the post.
We propose an exciting job as a Programme Manager – Policy Officer responsible for actions to promote semantic interoperability in the context of cross-border exchange of public sector data. In parallel to the creation and usage of data models and linked data methods & tools, Artificial Intelligence – especially Machine Learning (ML) and Natural-Language Processing (NLP) are also leveraged for a stronger cross-border interoperability.
