Jump from the JE level to work with the European team was logical for me because of my passion for the JE concept. At the time, it was not easy for me to move to Brussels.

However, this was not an obstacle, as I could work remotely, from Nantes. Therefore, I was able to conciliate my daily life with my job in JADE. Being IT Project Manager allows you to work on many things and helping 300+ JEs in Europe, by improving the tools they use. I was involved in the organization of the JSC and with the JADE’s website management.

Living in JADE house Brussels is an old European city with lovely parks and secret little streets. You can find a wide variety of cultural activities and many international people. The HQ in Brussels, the capital of Europe, helps JADE to be closer to the European Institutions and some other international Headquarters of companies, which support our Network. The geographic location makes travelling around Europe really convenient.

As a Project Manager, some positions come with moving to Brussels, work and live in JADE HQ. The House has one floor with offices and the rest of the floors are set up for living. During the stay in JADE HQ, the Team members have to share the space with other people, who also work and live there (ExBo and other Project Managers), as well as with guests from the Network.
