JRC traineeship qualifications

Hi everyone,

So I was thinking of applying for the JRC traineeship during Spring 2026 application period. However, from what I read it appears to be a highly competitive program (which makes sense) and what really concerns me is that many people already have one PhD or multiple masters. Personally I'm about to finish my master's in Environmental Biology but that's it.

What's your personal experience with the program in general and the qualifications needed?

Thanks in advance, have a nice day everyone 🌼
