The European Commission has decided a significant reorganisation of the JRC’s horizontal services. Taking effect on 1 January, the reorganisation aims to streamline these services and in doing so, making them more efficient. A clearer separation of centralised and decentralised tasks, in particular in the areas of human resource management and finance, is for example aiming at more efficient and timely recruitment of specialized staff.
Other changes include the creation of a new Unit "Knowledge Management and Evaluation" in the Programmes and Stakeholder Relations Directorate, and the merging of the two former "Work Programme" Units ‘EC’ and ‘Euratom’) into a single one. The detailed organisational chart is available on the JRC website.
