Who we are
The Directorate-General for Information Technologies and Cybersecurity (DG ITEC) is dedicated to empowering the institution by delivering digitally advanced, secure, resilient, compliant and sustainable information and communications technology (ICT) services.
By implementing advanced technologies and best practices, DG ITEC ensures that the European Parliament remains at the forefront of digital developments while maintaining the highest standards of security and quality. This mission is fundamental to supporting the legislative process, enabling democracy and fostering a robust IT ecosystem within the institution.
The Members' Digital Experience Unit (e-MEP) improves the experience of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and their offices regarding IT systems. We take care of the first line and on-site IT support for Members and their offices (assistants, local assistants, etc.), and we raise IT-awareness about the solutions available for our target population to work efficiently, anytime and anywhere.
