JOB DESCRIPTION

Job description

 

The EU-LAC Digital Alliance is the first bi-regional alliance for digital matters in the world. It provides a framework for the EU and countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to cooperate on technical and policy matters in fields such as meaningful connectivity, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data governance, e-governance, earth observation and others, with the aim of driving forward an inclusive and human-centered digital transformation in both regions. Based on the 2023 Joint Declaration for a Digital Alliance, it currently has 49 signatory members. Governments, regional organizations and other stakeholders such as civil society and private sector representatives meet at regular intervals for high-level policy dialogues to agree on and co-design cooperation opportunities. In September 2025, the members of the EU-LAC Digital Alliance will meet in Antigua, Guatemala to jointly prepare for the CELAC-EU Summit in Santa Marta, Colombia in November 2025.
