The secondment of Italian officials to the Council of Europe institutions enables civil servants to gain work and professional experience at the CoE.
Generally, the duration of the secondment is one year with the possibility of extension. The secondment requires the authorisation of the administration to which the official belongs with the consent to the secondment.
Notices for secondment to the Council of Europe are published here. You can only apply online, after creating an account on the site (see ‘Candidate space’, top right).
The regulatory reference framework is given, for Italy, by DPCM 30 October 2014 no. 184, and for the Council of Europe, by Resolution CM/Res(2012)2.
