The EU Agencies Network was set up by the European Union (EU) Member States and the EU Institutions to carry out specific legal, technical or scientific tasks. Based on evidence-based advice the Agencies help shape informed policies and laws at the EU and national level.
The 44 decentralised EU Agencies, headquartered across the EU Member States, touch the lives of 500 million EU citizens every day through their work.
The Agencies contribute to the implementation of EU policies across a wide variety of fields, including vocational education and training, health and safety, freedom and justice, innovation, research and business, and transport and satellite systems.

Cedefop has adopted the EUAN Charter on Diversity and Inclusion, developed in May 2021 by the EUAN Working Group on Diversity and Inclusion, where the Agency is an active member since its creation.
The Charter is a commitment in favour of diversity and inclusion among the EU Agencies Network, whose staff members must benefit from equal treatment and opportunities, irrespective of any ground of discrimination, as stated in article 1d of the Staff Regulations.
Τhe endorsement of the EUAN Charter on Diversity and Inclusion capitalises upon the existing activities in the diversity and inclusion area under the Cedefop’s own equal opportunities and diversity policy of 2020 and the HR Strategy.
