The Europass CV format standardised across the EU. Mandatory for applications to EU institutions and strongly preferred for European universities, Erasmus+ programmes, and EU-funded fellowships.
Who should use this
- Applicants to EU institutions (European Commission, Parliament, EU agencies)
- Academic positions at European universities
- Erasmus+ and other EU-funded fellowships, scholarships and grants
- Public-sector roles in continental Europe
Who should NOT
Private sector in Western Europe prefers a modern 1-2 page CV. UK employers dropped Europass after Brexit. Tech startups anywhere find Europass bureaucratic. Use our Modern Minimal template instead.
