The Agency also manages other EU programmes in the fields of SME support, innovation ecosystems, single market, consumer policy and interregional innovation investments.
We employ highly qualified and motivated professionals who are experts in their respective fields from 27 EU Member States making EISMEA a culturally diverse and interesting place to work.
