The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA opens the application process in order to appoint the new “ad personam” members for the next term of the Advisory Group (AG).
Nationals of the Member States of the European Union and nationals from the European Free Trade Association (EFTA countries) are invited to apply for the next membership mandate.
The term of the current Advisory Group is to end on 31 July this year. The new Advisory Group will have a mandate of two and a half years with an indicative starting date of 1 August 2025.
Selected candidates will be appointed “ad personam”. This means the selection is based on personal expertise and merits. Members are not appointed to represent their country of origin or to represent the company or organisation they work for. “Ad personam members” of the ENISA AG cannot therefore delegate their responsibilities to any other member of the group or to any other third party.
ENISA will seek skills and work experience matching with the abilities and knowledge of particular relevance for ENISA in relation to the work anticipated over the next AG mandate. This includes the implementation of the NIS2 Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act.
The ENISA AG will be composed of up to 33 leading experts representing stakeholder groups as follows:
- The information and communication technology (ICT) industry, providers of electronic communications networks or services available to the public, SMEs, operators of essential services;
- Consumer organisations and groups in the field of cybersecurity;
- Academic organisations in the field of cybersecurity.
The role of the Advisory Group in a nutshell
The role of the Advisory Group is to advise ENISA and ENISA’s Executive Director in relation to the agency’s tasks. The group advises the Executive Director on the drawing up of a proposal for the annual work programme of the Agency.
