Little personal advice(s)
English must be perfect. Even if it is not official, English is in fact the only working and compulsory language of the agency. A certain appetite for defense issues, and a technical knowledge of certain files, is more than necessary. Given the sensitivity of the subject, defense accreditation will be sought. Finally, recommendations from people in this environment seem to us to be widely recommended. Condition sine qua none: nationality of one of the EU Member States participating in the agency.
Good luck...
