Weglobal experts jobs
Anyone here worked as a Non-Key Expert (NKE) on EU projects? (WeGlobal, DAI, GOPA, NTU, etc.)
Hi everyone,
I was recently approached regarding a potential Non-Key Expert (NKE) role on an EU-funded project and I’m trying to understand how these engagements work in practice.
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually worked as NKEs (especially with companies like WeGlobal, DAI, GOPA, NTU, Cowi, IBF, or similar).
A few things I’m curious about:
How are NKEs usually paid? Daily rate? Monthly salary?
Do companies negotiate the rate with you or is it already fixed?
Are you hired as an employee or as an external consultant?
How many days do you actually end up working compared to what’s in the proposal?
What was your overall experience? Anything you wish you had known beforehand?
I’m particularly interested in experiences from the Western Balkans, but any EU project experience is welcome.
Thanks!
